Battle Green Bamboo Toothbrush - 100% Castor Oil Bristles

Description Bamboo Toothbrush with 100% Bio-Based Bristles Looking for a greener way to brush your teeth? Our eco friendly bamboo toothbrush is a simple yet effective swap. The handle is made from sustainably sourced, biodegradable bamboo, while the medium-firm bristles are 100% bio-based, derived from renewable castor oil and made in Germany. That means no petroleum and no BPA — just a more sustainable toothbrush that’s better for you and the planet. Bristle firmness: Medium To maintain good oral hygiene, dentists recommend switching to a new toothbrush approximately every three months. When your bamboo toothbrush reaches the end of its life, there are many ways to upcycle it – just check out our guide for inspiration. The handle can be composted, after removing the bristles, which you can return to us for recycling if needed. Why choose a sustainable toothbrush? First of all, bamboo is an incredible natural material. It grows up to 3ft per day, thrives without pesticides, and releases 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere than trees. Because of this, it’s perfect for creating a sustainable toothbrush that works just as well as plastic alternatives. Furthermore, plastic toothbrushes create a huge environmental problem, with 1 billion discarded each year in the U.S. alone. Most of this waste takes centuries to decompose. In contrast, bamboo breaks down naturally and helps reduce long-term pollution. By switching to bamboo, you’ll cut down your plastic footprint while keeping your smile clean and healthy. Good to know! We ship all orders in plastic-free and recyclable packaging. Battle Green products are PETA certified vegan and cruelty free.
