Bamboo, a raw material that comes from far away
Currently, there is a whole range of ecological and biodegradable toothbrushes on the market, it is difficult for consumers to choose between wooden, bamboo, corn starch toothbrushes... But are they made in France?
Bamboo toothbrushes have several advantages. Bamboo is a sustainable plant known for being able to grow easily and quickly, and this, without much need for water. It is cultivated mainly in Asian countries, and its production does not require fertilizers or pesticides.

Apart from the fact that it is not entirely Made in France, this toothbrush is not 100% compostable since it is only the handle that is made of bamboo. Indeed, the bristles are made of nylon, and the fixing rings are made of metal, not to mention the glue, they are neither ecological nor biodegradable. So, to compost the bamboo toothbrush, you have to remove the latter with pliers. Also, for the bamboo to compost, it must not be painted or treated.
