The world is going more and more to goods with sustainability. I find it pretty amazing how many companies are figuring out how and then creating goods that for decades have been non-recyclable, now sustainable.
Take the ever popular toothbrush. Everyone needs one and we tend to go through several every year. That simple fact is amazing. I mean, toothbrushes are incredibly important to, not only oral health, but overall health in general. The mouth is connected to the body, after all, and oral health problems can have system wide effects.
The problem is all of that plastic. Toothbrushes are not easily recyclable... at least not until Woobamboo came along. The company has been selling toothbrushes and floss that are recyclable for a while now. They make the handles out of bamboo, which grows quickly and breaks down easily. It's a great idea.
Now, the company is bringing to market a brush for Sonicare powered toothbrushes. Powered brushes are becoming more and more popular which means they are becoming major players in the toothbrush industry. As more people move away from manual brushes, there becomes a market for sustainable sonic brush heads.
There is a nice write up on the product over at my writing home Dental Products Report and I highly suggest you give it a read. Then, head over to Woobamboo and give their sustainable brushes a try!
