To make a real impact, you have to start by using everyday products intelligently, such as your toothbrush. This is why many people think they should choose the bamboo toothbrush.

Bamboo: What will save the planet?

What you need to know is that a bamboo toothbrush is not 100% compostable as many brands would have you believe. Indeed, the bamboo handle is, but the nylon brush bristles and metal frames are not! And again, the bamboo toothbrush is only industrially compostable. For most of these same companies, it is said that the toothbrush is “Made in France”, while it has been proven that no production of bamboo toothbrushes has yet been created in our country. This misleading advertising misleads customers and is what prevents progress towards our goal of zero waste that we have set for you and us.

Also, you have to be careful about how your toothbrush will be sent to you if you order it online. For bamboo toothbrushes, it is very common for companies to use packaging made of plastic, which is in total contradiction with the action taken by the customer to reduce their use of plastic.

The ecological alternative made in France

That's why Caliquo decided to create its toothbrushes with European wooden handles and renewable heads. So if you want to invest in your future, start with that ;)

With our zero waste products, you really opt for products that do not result in the release of monstrous greenhouse gas emissions. We favor a short circuit and the French craftsmanship for the design of our walnut and oak wood handles.

Our products are truly zero waste because you keep the handle as long as possible and only have to change the head! Once worn, it should be dropped off at one of our resellers with a collection point. You will find the list attached .
