Nearly every piece of plastic ever made still exists!
If every Aussie uses 4 plastic toothbrushes per year, that's around 96 MILLION plastic toothbrushes that build up in landfill, each and every year. And sadly, plastic toothbrushes don't just end up in landfill - they also tend to end up on our beaches and in our waterways, where the plastic bristle break off and become microplastics that poison our sea life.
Wombat Bamboo Toothbrushes are durable and gentle on teeth and gums. The handy coloured bristles and colour dipped handles make it easy for all members of the family to know which brush is theirs!
- Handle made with sustainable and biodegradable bamboo
- Medium nylon bristles
- Coloured bristles and handle - no more mixed up toothbrushes!
- Round handle to fit comfortably in little hands
- Shorter toothbrush handle perfect for kids
- The toothbrush handle is biodegradable and compostable - remove the bristles first
Switching to a biodegradable bamboo toothbrush is a simple way to reduce the amount of plastic waste in your home. Your toothbrush is often the first thing you use in the morning, and the last thing you use in the evening before bed - so why not switch to a more sustainable option?
Dentists recommend replacing toothbrushes every 3 months or when bristles become frayed.
Old toothbrushes can be given a second life and used to clean bathroom grout, sink and tapware corners, to clean your bike or to spot clean stains from laundry or furniture.
Disposal
Remove the bristles with pliers or snap off the head of your toothbrush and dispose of with household garbage.
The bamboo handle can be composted or re-purpose as a plant marker in your veggie garden.
