Description
The Environmental Toothbrush is proudly the winner of the news.com.au People’s Choice and Green Inventions Awards for 2009 and Highly Commended for Green Lifestyle Awards in 2012 & 2013.
The handle is made from bamboo, an environmentally sustainable timber. Bamboo is technically considered a member of the grass family. It is the fastest growing plant on earth, and incredibly abundant. Their bamboo is cultivated for three years, and then harvested. It re-generates itself naturally, with minimal rain and without the need for harmful pesticides. In fact, by harvesting and using the bamboo, Environmental Toothbrushes help to control unwanted spread into agricultural and natural forest areas.
The bamboo is heat treated to carbonise the surface of the bamboo, giving it a quality finish and good service life. The carbonisation finishing process provides water resistance and prevents the growth of microbes (bacteria and moulds) during normal use.
The bristles are made from a polymer resistant to microbial growth during normal use, to ensure safety and durability. It is recommended you rinse and dry your toothbrush after use to keep it clean.
For best results, it is recommended you replace your toothbrush monthly.
The Environmental Toothbrush handle can be disposed of safely by returning it to earth in compost or landfill. The bamboo Handle will biodegrade into soil without pollution, it is suggested that you remove the bristles and place them into the bin or recycling.
