R21.00
The Natural Life Adult Flat Bamboo Toothbrush comes in a variety of colours, is made of biodegradable sustainably grown bamboo handles and DuPont nylon bristles, and comes in biodegradable home-compostable packaging. The eco-friendly alternative to plastic toothbrushes that are oh-so-difficult to recycle! Slightly smaller than the curved handle equivalent.
Description
Once you try a bamboo toothbrush, you’ll never go back to a plastic toothbrush! For many, this is by far the easiest eco-friendly, zero waste swap.
The Natural Life Adult Flat Bamboo Toothbrush has medium strength bristles and is made from sustainably grown Moso bamboo that is naturally anti-microbial, meaning germs won’t find it an inviting place to make their home! The handle as well as the outer packaging is biodegradable and the PLA insert is home compostable.
The bristles are exactly the same as what you’re used to in conventional plastic toothbrushes, if not better. They are made from DuPont nylon so can be removed and eco-bricked or recycled and the handle can be composted or become a handy herb-identifier in the garden.
Every time you choose bamboo over plastic you are making a difference to our tomorrow.
These flat toothbrushes are slightly smaller than the Natural Life Adult Curved Bamboo Toothbrushes, making it a good choice for a smaller mouth.
