The state of the planet regarding pollution is reaching a critical point and, although many people still have their eyes closed on this issue, more and more people, companies and organizations do everything possible to reduce the consumption of plastic and other pollutants Thus, bamboo toothbrushes have opened a space in a market that is dominated by plastics: oral hygiene.

That is why some manufacturers like bamboo tooth brushes have begun to make toothbrushes made of bamboo, with the aim of reducing the production and use of plastics, which after a few months of life go to the ocean or landfills where they pollute during hundreds of years, affecting a large number of animal species.

Haven't you heard anything about these types of products? In this web about bamboo brushes you can find a lot of important information and where to buy them at the best price, so we invite you to visit it and learn more about the benefits and advantages that these brushes offer us.

Features and advantages of bamboo toothbrushes

Biodegradable handle made with bamboo
As I mentioned throughout the article, it is a product that avoids the use of plastic and replaces it with bamboo. Bamboo is a natural and biodegradable material, in addition to that, it does not contaminate and is a quite resistant and durable material.

Thanks to the resistance of bamboo, it has begun to become a material widely used in household and hygiene products instead of plastic, is an excellent substitute in the vast majority of cases.

Bamboo toothbrushes do not pollute since after completing their useful life when they go to nature they break down and help the earth to take advantage of its properties during decomposition.

Contaminated and trash-filled areas have a lot of plastic toothbrushes that will be there for hundreds of years unless they are recycled, but the recycling of all the plastic used is very low, about 10%, which is why that directly eliminating the use of plastic in many products is the best solution to prevent contamination.

Nylon bristles (without BPA)
But the changes have not only been made in the handle since the bristles of the brush have also changed to contaminate less and help our health. These bamboo brushes use nylon bristles without Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a plastic that is extremely harmful to our body.

That is, unlike most bristles of conventional plastic brushes, bamboo brushes do not use plastic pigs, so they also reduce contamination in this regard.

Attractive and ecological wrap
Bamboo toothbrushes are not mass-produced in the same way as plastic brushes, which makes them almost handmade and meticulous, something they project in their packaging. But what makes these wrappings more striking is not their design, but they are made of compostable or biodegradable materials, using products that do not end up affecting nature.

Biodegradable case
If you are one of the people who use a case to protect your brush and keep it away from bacteria, bamboo toothbrushes can also be sold with cases or caps to protect them, only in this case we find biodegradable caps that have also been made using biodegradable materials.

As you can see, bamboo brushes have many advantages and really very few disadvantages, since we can also find different models that fit the needs you may have, such as thin or resistant bristles.

Nice to see this kind of content.
I tried using this and its incredible safe for enviromental porpuses, the thing is that the brushes are not perfectly made for our mouths. The brush was incredibly hard and quite to big to reach the very back of the mouth.
I absolutelly love the iniciative, but they have to work to make it atractive to everybody. Otherwhise after trying the first time every one is going to go back to the conventional ones.
