Did you know that our toothbrushes aren’t made from bamboo but rather from beechwood? Our toothbrushes come from an FSC-certified supplier ensuring sustainability and are suitable for home composting. We take pride in our commitment to environmental responsibility and have therefore partnered with a sustainable supplier: for every tree cut down another is replanted, and excess material is repurposed to heat their factory.
Crafted with quality and care
Crafted in Germany, our brushes feature BPA-free nylon bristles and boast a higher quality than competitors. Developed in collaboration with dentists, they offer superior bristle density for optimal cleaning. Customers can choose from three bristle firmness options: soft, medium, or firm. This attention to detail ensures that our toothbrushes provide an effective and comfortable brushing experience.
In addition to our toothbrushes, we offer interdental brushes with handles that are also made from sustainable FSC Beechwood. This consistency in materials reflects our dedication to environmental sustainability across our product range.
Why choose beechwood over bamboo?
But why do we opt for beechwood over bamboo? For starters, our beechwood is locally sourced in Switzerland, significantly reducing transportation emissions compared to bamboo sourced from China, a common practice in the industry. This local sourcing not only supports sustainable forestry practices but also ensures a lower carbon footprint, aligning with our commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Environmental and practical benefits of beechwood
Our German supplier ensures consistent quality, providing us with confidence in the durability and performance of our brushes. Beechwood, known for its strength and resilience, contributes to a longer-lasting product, meaning fewer replacements and less waste over time. Furthermore, beechwood is easily compostable at home, aligning with our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Unlike bamboo, which often requires industrial composting facilities, beechwood can break down naturally in your backyard compost.
Eco-friendly disposal and recycling initiatives
Our toothbrushes are not only eco-friendly in material but also in disposal. The compostable beechwood handle can be easily disposed of at home, while the brush head can be detached and sent to us via free post for recycling through FirstMile and TerraCycle. This initiative is crucial in combating the staggering 300 million plastic toothbrushes that end up in UK landfills each year! By choosing our beechwood toothbrushes, you are making a significant contribution to reducing plastic waste and promoting a more sustainable future.
Moreover, our commitment extends beyond our products. We continually strive to innovate and improve our packaging to ensure it is as environmentally friendly as possible. From biodegradable packaging materials to minimalistic designs that reduce waste, every aspect of our product lifecycle is designed with sustainability in mind.
