What is bamboo toothbrush?

The bamboo toothbrush is the ecological alternative to the classic plastic toothbrush. This accessory is recommended by dentists because of the bamboo which is naturally antibacterial and which helps to eliminate dental plaque. This toothbrush includes a bamboo handle and an interchangeable head. The latter is changed every 3 months, but the handle can be used for years. It is environmentally friendly because of its bamboo stem which is a sustainable and ecological plant. Bamboo is easily composted unlike plastic. However, this is not the case for the head, it has nylon bristles and metal rings which are not compostable. It is a good alternative to the classic toothbrush, but it does not meet all the criteria to be ecological, because it is not 100% compostable. In addition, bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except in Europe and Antarctica. So, the production of the bamboo toothbrush is not local, the handle must be transported from Asian countries to here, and it is far from doing good to our planet because of the carbon footprint emitted during transport. For you who really want to take a first step in the concept of zero waste, why not discover the ecological toothbrushes of the French brand Caliquo?

Caliquo's Made in France eco-friendly toothbrushes

Caliquo is a French brand that has been committed to protecting the planet and human health since its creation. It is known for its locally made rechargeable toothbrushes. For your zero waste approach with Caliquo, you have the choice between the toothbrush with a bioplastic or wooden handle (walnut, rosewood, oak, ash, etc.) with a lifespan of more than 10 years. When worn, the head must be changed, which is fully recyclable. The recycling process is done with Terracycle. Caliquo's rechargeable toothbrushes are therefore both ecological and sustainable. For your information, its products are shaped by the hands of wood turners and cabinetmakers. So why get rid of your toothbrush when the bristles are worn out while the handle is still in perfect condition?
