More On Sustainable Toothbrushes
I was surfing the internet for a few hours last night in a mad hunt for information on sustainable wood floors for your house. (That posting will come later). But, I came across some interesting products and I wanted to share them.
I had posted an entry a few days ago about Recycline® and their recycled plastic toothbrushes and their efforts to change the recycling industry through their products. Well, I wondered last night if there was any more companies doing that very same thing. And I found one.
•Radius Toothbrushes-
With their Original Toothbrush-
The cellulose handle is processed from sustainable yield forests into 100% renewable resource plastic.
The rubber construction produces a toothbrush with a wide oval head that flexes back and forth to remind us to reduce the pressure of brushing.
Replaceable head toothbrush with renewable resource handle.
Wood Fiber blended with PLA, a plastic derived entirely from Nebraska maize.
The resulting material is 100% renewal resource.
Flax with post consumer polypropylene.
Replaceable Heads consume 1/5 the material of standard toothbrushes.
Replaceable heads - reduces environmental impact.
Replaceable heads - reduces environmental impact.
Batteries will last over 6 heads worth of regular use - return the handle to them for recycling.
A pint-sized version of the Original - with even softer bristles.
Travel cases that carry anything from soap, razors or toothbrush to travel cases for multiple items. All made from recycled plastics.
The personal cases hold what you don’t want people to see, such as feminine products to prophylactics.
Made of pure, natural silk has a soft texture with very low abrasion - removes plaque softly and effectively.
The floss is spun in natural beeswax to help sliding through tight spaces.
*The cranberry floss is coated with pure unsweetened cranberry essence, which is removed during the action of flossing and deposited on the gums to help break up plaque.
*Going Green Tip: Unplug your electronics (DVD players, TV, cellphone charger) when you’re not using them. And never charge your cellphone overnight.
