Which organic toothbrush should I use?

The toothbrush is a banal object that we use every day to clean our teeth and mouth. There is nothing serious there, but when we think about it a little, this object that we throw away every 3 months is made of plastic, and this material is the main source of pollution on our planet. Moreover, tons of plastic toothbrushes end up in the seas and oceans. Now that you have managed to visualize the waste, contribute to the preservation of our environment by opting for the organic toothbrush .

The organic toothbrush market

Aware of the damage plastic does to the environment and the new needs of consumers, many brands are committed to ecology. Thus, there are currently different types of organic toothbrushes . The principle of the latter is the same as the conventional toothbrush, and it is just as effective. But the difference is that it is designed with natural, sustainable, and ecological materials. It therefore eliminates disposable plastic in our bathrooms.

The different types of organic toothbrushes

• The bamboo toothbrush : It is an organic toothbrush because of its manufacturing material. Bamboo is a renewable resource. Grown in good conditions, it grows up to one meter per day without fertilizers, pesticides or watering. It is popular in the design of toothbrush handles because it has antibacterial properties. The bristles are made with nylon-6.10 based on nylon vegetable oil. However, these are not compostable. When the organic bamboo toothbrush is used, the handle is to be composted, and the bristles are sent with other incinerable waste. This model is not 100% organic. In addition, bamboo does not grow in Europe, but in Asia, and its transport generates a carbon footprint.
• Siwak : When we talk about organic toothbrushes , we hear the term siwak a lot. It is not really a toothbrush, but a small fibrous stick from a shrub that grows naturally in the deserts of Asia and the Middle East. This shrub has different natural substances with multiple benefits for oral health. These are fluoride, calcium, silicon and others. Durable, siwak can last for years. It is to be rubbed on the teeth, and it does not require the use of toothpaste. It is able to fight bad breath, strengthen the gums, prevent the development of bacteria ...
• The toothbrush with interchangeable head : Today, several French brands like Caliquo offer toothbrushes like classic models, the difference is that the head can be removed and replaced when the bristles are worn. Therefore, the handle lasts for life. The bristles of the Caliquo organic toothbrush are made of nylon and the base is made of Italian-made ABS. However, this brand collects the used head for recycling. Caliquo offers an excellent alternative to limit the carbon footprint, because all its products are made in France.
