Plastic toothbrushes are one of the top contributors to plastic waste in our oceans today, with many report suggesting as much as 4.7 million toothbrushes end up in our oceans every single year.

Every single plastic toothbrush that's been produced since the 1930s still exists on this planet. (Nearly a century ago!) Instead of fully decomposing, these plastic toothbrushes often break down into smaller fragments known as microplastics, which many animals and marine creatures mistake them for food.

Switching to a bamboo toothbrush is probably one of the most affordable ways you can take to reduce your plastic consumption. Unlike their plastic counterparts, bamboo is a natural and sustainable material, it's fast-growing, plant-based, and 100% biodegradable. Which is the ideal choice to replace the plastic toothbrush.
