Bamboo Toothbrushes are Made from Bamboo
Bamboo toothbrushes are made from bamboo, which is not only biodegradable, but also provide a more natural and comfortable brushing experience than traditional plastic toothbrushes.
Bamboo has many benefits including being sustainable, biodegradable, and recyclable. It also has natural antibacterial properties that prevent bacteria from building up.
In recent years, bamboo has been used to make new kinds of toothbrushes that claim to be better for the environment. Bamboo is a sustainable resource that can actually grow up to a foot in a day.
When bamboo is harvested the bamboo plant continues to grow, making it a renewable resource. The end result is a toothbrush that can last for months with no break-down in quality while also being environmentally friendly.
Toothbrushes made from bamboo don’t contain plastic micro-particles, which can be harmful when ingested by animals and humans alike.
In addition,we choose plant based bristles for the bamboo toothbrush, which is castor oil bristles.
The bristles are 100% derived from plants, and while there’s still a process involved to convert them from castor bean oil to toothbrush bristles, they are made from the most environmentally friendly material currently available.
The Castor Oil plants are grown in poor soil conditions which are not suitable for growing food, hence not competing for land that could be used for food production. These plant based bristles will break down without leaving any micro plastics behind.
If you’re wondering what’s the average life span of bamboo toothbrushes, the answer is about 3 to 4 months. However, this will depend on how often you brush your teeth and the quality of the bamboo toothbrush you use.
Although bamboo toothbrushes last longer than the typical plastic toothbrushes, you must replace your toothbrush when there’s visible fraying or damage on the bristles, even if you’ve only been using it for less than 3 months. Damaged bristles are more prone to bacteria and mold.
