Over 4.7 billion plastic toothbrushes that will never biodegrade are dumped in landfills and oceans every year worldwide.

Disposal:
This ecological bamboo toothbrush will last just as long as a conventional plastic toothbrush. However, it is recommended that you replace your brush every 2-4 months, or when the bristles look worn. The different parts of the toothbrush can be disassembled for proper disposal. The bristles are not biodegradable but could be recyclable in some cities. Using pliers, it is easy to remove the bristles from the head. Doing so will also remove a small metal staple that is used to clamp the bristles to the handle. The handle can then be composted or repurposed.
Sustainability of Bamboo:
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth. Because it contains naturally-occurring antimicrobial agents, there is no need for using fertilizers or pesticides during its cultivation.
Made in China. Bristles made in the European Union. Designed by a California, USA company.
