Five Benefits of Using A Bamboo Toothbrush
- A Bamboo Toothbrush is Eco-friendly
As you use a bamboo toothbrush, the environment benefits because it avoids deforestation for wood products. Also, less electricity is used to manufacture bamboo toothbrushes that are also biodegradable. In addition, bamboo can be harvested in three years and grows very fast, making it one of the most renewable materials on earth.
- A Bamboo Toothbrush is Recyclable
The handle on some toothbrushes may be recyclable. Still, not all are easily recyclable or recycled, so throwing away your bamboo toothbrush where it cannot be recycled contributes to landfills. If every household in the U.S used just one bamboo toothbrush instead of the typical plastic toothbrush, we would save 4.6 million pounds of plastic from polluting our planet and nearly 1 million trees from being cut down to meet the demand for conventional toothbrushes.
- A Bamboo Toothbrush is Durable
Bamboo lasts longer than wood. Since bamboo grows so fast, it has a strong cellular structure that makes bamboo durable and flexible without added chemicals or glues to hold the brush together like many other plants used for toothbrushes contain. The durability and flexibility of bamboo help clean teeth better than some other materials because it can adjust itself as you use it, making your brushing experience much more comfortable and helping you get your brushing done faster!
- A Bamboo Toothbrush is Functional
The bamboo grass has very small micro-serrations on the stems and roots of the plant. Bamboo toothbrushes use these same micro-serrations to help clean teeth and massage gums more effectively than a plastic toothbrush. Unlike other plants from which toothbrushes are made, bamboo contains no toxic chemicals that pose potential health risks for consumers or workers in its production process.
- A Bamboo Toothbrush is Ozone Safe
When the bristles in your brush wear out, you can recycle them by switching to a new head! When recycling regular plastic hair combs, all parts must be recycled, including the metal holding comb together, because if not correctly disposed of, these materials will pollute our planet. With bamboo, you can easily switch out the old head for a new one after it has worn down. It also doesn’t take long before the old head is no longer functional due to wear and tear! Bamboo toothbrushes are much better for people with braces since they are flexible enough to move them back and forth between teeth without sharp metal edges catching on your braces.
In conclusion, bamboo toothbrush are an affordable, eco-friendly, functional, and long-lasting alternative to the typical plastic toothbrush. So next time you are in the market for a toothbrush, consider your impact on our planet when selecting something that is functional for you and helps create a clean environment on this planet!
