Plastic toothbrush.
Billions of plastic toothbrushes end up in the landfill each year where they take upwards of 450 years to start to break down.
Tooth Powder with Glass ContainerTubed toothpaste.
Regular plastic toothpaste tubes can technically be recycled, but sadly very few people go to the effort to rinse them out, meaning they almost always end up in the landfill.
Glass tooth powder containers replace the need for plastic toothpaste tubes and allow you to refill and reuse instead.
Floss with Glass ContainerNylon dental floss.
Traditional dental floss is usually made from either nylon (petroleum), teflon (the chemical mouthful polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)), or synthetic wax (petroleum).
These toxins can be absorbed into your bloodstream during those times that you floss a little too hard, or it’s been, say, longer than the suggested three times a day since your last floss.
Discarded dental floss cannot be recycled, takes 30-80 years to break down, and can be harmful to wildlife.
Glass floss containers replace the need for plastic dental floss containers and allow you to refill and reuse instead.
