The Environmental Toothbrush is the solution to the 30 million toothbrushes disposed of each year in Australia. Invented by a Brisbane dentist, The Environmental Toothbrush is a si mple solution. Made from bamboo, a natural cellulose fibre, they are biodegradable, environmentally sustainable, and do not pollute the environment. Even the packaging is biodegradable and they are fair trade. The handle is made of MOSO 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. In fact, by harvesting and using the bamboo, we help to control unwanted spread into agricultural and natural forest areas. The brushes are sourced Fair Trade in China. 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 BPA FREE polymer resistant to microbial growth during normal use, to ensure safety and durability. The toothbrush is available in both Soft and Medium in the Adult size and Soft in the Child size. The toothbrush can be put in a composter to biodegrade so you can return to earth. Ideally the bristles are pulled out and thrown away Box-L x 18cm W x 2cm H x 1.5cm Toothbrush- L x 17cm W x 1.2cm H x 0.5cm at handle/ 1.5cm at bristles Show more
