Eco-Friendly Toothbrush And Hairbrush: How To Make The Move

In recent years, we have become a lot more ecologically aware, with most of us making small changes to lessen our carbon footprint.

We are all aware of how single-use plastics are a huge contributor to the overfill of landfills. Which is why we are all trying to do what we can to change this for future generations.

Reusable straws and cups are a great place to start but have you ever thought about changing your hairbrush and toothbrush to an eco-friendlier option?

Seems a little challenging but it is so easy.

Bamboo toothbrush

The main material used in plastic toothbrushes is petroleum, which requires a lot of energy to make. Plastic toothbrushes are also non-biodegradable as the take a millennium to degrade.

Bamboo toothbrushes are designed specifically with eco-friendliness in mind. Their handles are made from 100% bamboo and are fully biodegradable.

Bamboo plants are quick and easy to grow and they don’t need fertilizer or pesticides to grow, making a bamboo toothbrush completely organic too.

So, whether you want to help make big or small changes, a bamboo toothbrush is a must-have and a great way to start your eco-friendly journey. A quick search online will show you easy and affordable options.

Biodegradable Hairbrush

Is that even a thing? Yes, it is, and you wouldn’t even know the difference.

Here are two great options for you to start with:

Bamboo

There are plenty of options when it comes to bamboo hairbrushes. Again, these are fully biodegradable, and they contain no plastic.

Wet Brush

If you like to stick to what you know, fear not - Wet Brush has brought out an eco-friendly hairbrush too. The handle is made from all-natural biodegradable plant starch that will naturally break down in a landfill within 5 years.
