Why should you use a bamboo toothbrush? discover the benefits!

THE PLASTIC PROBLEM

Plastic toothbrushes account for 1% of the trash in our oceans. We are used to changing them every 2 or 3 months, so every year we throw away more than 4.5 billion plastic toothbrushes.

Plastic is a cheap, versatile and valuable resource in many ways. However, you have created a disposable lifestyle. 50% of plastic is used only once and thrown away.

Bottles, straws, coffee cups, beverage containers, plastic bags, cutlery, cotton buds… the list is long and we all know it. This is indeed a great concern. But the good news is that it is up to us to take the first step: to deny ourselves.

Plastic pollution is an unsustainable waste and has become an environmental problem. So basically, do you want to continue to be part of the problem or are you ready to take a small step to reduce our collective plastic footprint?

What is the problem with conventional toothbrushes?

Conventional toothbrushes are made from different types of plastic, so they cannot be recycled and take over 400 years to break down, eventually ending up in our oceans, harming marine life. Luckily we can stop this bad habit.

Billions of plastic toothbrushes are thrown away every year. They are dumped into our oceans or end up in landfills, where they stay for around 1,000 years before finally breaking down.

If we put together the toothbrushes that are thrown away in Spain in a year, they would go around the Earth three times.

Another staggering fact is that by 2050, the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by weight. Pretty scary, don't you think? But environmental damage is entirely preventable, if we take one small, simple action: switch to a biodegradable toothbrush.

Do you know the benefits of using a bamboo toothbrush?

Bamboo toothbrushes are an ecological alternative, because bamboo is a natural plant, fully biodegradable, making it a renewable and sustainable resource. It's one of the fastest growing plants on the planet, so we don't have to worry about running out anytime soon.

In addition, we use a species called mosu bamboo, which is totally organic and wild, it does not need fertilizers, pesticides or irrigation. Plus, it doesn't compromise our beloved panda diet. Therefore, it is the perfect material for the handle. Other benefits are:

• Reduce environmental pollution and plastic waste in our oceans.
• The antibacterial properties of bamboo allow it to be grown without using toxic substances.
• The marine flora and fauna will not be affected by the discharge of toothbrushes into the sea.

At Bionobo we follow a healthy, ecological and natural lifestyle, taking care of people, animals and the environment. That's why we want to stop littering our oceans with plastic toothbrushes. We have created the new bamboo toothbrush to provide an ecological alternative to traditional plastic toothbrushes to all our customers who already make purchases through our website.
