The bamboo used is one of the fastest growing renewable resources on earth. Importantly, it is not a food source or habitat for pandas. Brush with Bamboo has FSC® certification (license N003699) for its bamboo sourcing.

End of life: How to compost your toothbrush

This toothbrush is designed to minimise waste — and with a little effort, most of it can return to the earth.

Compostable handle:
The bamboo handle is fully biodegradable and suitable for home composting.

Bristles:
Made from plant-based Nylon 1010 (castor oil), these are not biodegradable nor home compostable. They will eventually return to the earth but exceed the time required to be classified as biodegradable.

Staples:
Like most toothbrushes (including plastic ones), small aluminium staples hold the bristles in place.

To compost:

1. Use pliers to pull out the bristles from the head
2. This will also remove the aluminium staples
3. Compost the bamboo handle
4. Bristles go into the rubbish bin

Switching to a bamboo toothbrush is a simple step that reduces plastic waste.
