Brushing your teeth daily is an essential activity that we all must do in order to maintain oral hygiene. In Australia alone, it is estimated that 30 million toothbrushes are consumed in 1 year. Our bamboo toothbrushes represent the small change you can do to make a big impact by simply switching from a plastic toothbrush to a bamboo toothbrush, eliminating plastic from landfill. Our bamboo toothbrushes can simply be put in the compost bin to decompose naturally within weeks, whereas a plastic toothbrush will sit in landfill for at least 400 years! Bamboo is also one of the fastest growing hardwood trees and absorbs carbon dioxide whilst releasing 30% more oxygen than any other plant.  To find out more about how to compost your toothbrush click here to view our 2 step guide on our Journal.  Alternative to: Plastic toothbrushes that come in plastic packaging.
