Zero waste: stopping plastic pollution

Zero waste

Seeing the world we live in, zero waste is now a necessity. The first pollutant pointed out when we talk about the environment is plastic, and unfortunately, almost all the objects we use daily are made of plastic. However, for the good of our planet, there are currently different brands offering everyday items made with more ecological materials like Caliquo. We especially know this French brand for its eco-friendly toothbrushes and its wooden ear cleaner .

Caliquo's eco-friendly products

Caliquo is a French brand committed to protecting the environment. In order to help each of us gradually enter the zero waste approach, it manufactures and markets ecological and sustainable toothbrushes as well as ear cleaners made of natural materials. Caliquo toothbrushes are ecological and sustainable, because they are equipped with a rechargeable head system to stay in your bathroom for a long time. The used heads will be recycled by a partner company. Note that the handle of this Made in France toothbrush is made of bioplastic or recycled plastic. They are recharged by clipping, and the nylon is of optimal quality. As for its ear cleaner , it is also ecological and sustainable, because it is made with walnut wood, beech wood or oak wood. Moreover, with their curved shape, they collect earwax well at the entrance of the ear canal. But let's not forget the eco-friendly wooden razors to further limit waste in the bathroom. The special feature of Caliquo is that all its products are the fruit of the work of local artisans. By choosing these French-made tools, you will participate in the reduction of plastic, and you will benefit from artisanal know-how.

What about bamboo toothbrushes?

To get started with zero waste , many people have opted for the bamboo toothbrush . It has the same principle as the classic plastic toothbrush, but unlike the latter, it has a bamboo handle which is a natural material. Also, it is not thrown away, it is only the head that needs to be changed after wear. But can we really say that the bamboo toothbrush is ecological? The subject is still debated, because it has an impact on the environment because of the carbon footprint during its transport. You should know that bamboo does not grow in Europe, but only in Asia and Africa. And even if it can be used for life, its head is not compostable because of the nylon bristles and the metal ring. We must therefore admit that this bamboo toothbrush is not completely ecological. The safest and most ecological alternative for our planet remains the Made in France toothbrush from Caliquo. Its carbon footprint is very low unlike the bamboo toothbrush.

Caliquo is a French brand that produces eco-responsible everyday items.
