Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Over 4.7 billion plastic toothbrushes are discarded globally each year. Plastic handles never biodegrade and shed microplastics in landfills and waterways.

Why We Recommend This Product

Plastic toothbrushes are one of the most common items found in ocean plastic surveys. A bamboo handle eliminates the largest plastic component while delivering equivalent brushing performance.
