Tired of plastic toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, and flosses wrapped in plastic? It’s time to revolutionize your oral care routine with zero waste solutions! In this article, we’ll show you how to create an eco-friendly dental hygiene kit using just three key products. By making these simple switches, you’ll be doing double duty—keeping your mouth fresh and zero waste dental floss your bathroom plastic-free. Here’s how you can achieve a cleaner mouth and a cleaner planet with these three sustainable choices:
Dental Floss: Traditional floss is typically made from waxed nylon and comes in a plastic dispenser. Both nylon and plastic are derived from crude oil, and while nylon breaks down faster than plastic (in 50-80 years), it’s still far from eco-friendly. Luckily, there are now more sustainable alternatives available.
Bamboo Floss: Bamboo dental floss is a great eco-friendly choice. It’s free from preservatives, gluten, and artificial colors. Additionally, bamboo floss often includes activated charcoal, which helps improve oral health by providing natural deodorizing and whitening benefits.
Corn Floss: Made from cornstarch-based PLA, this floss is compostable and vegan. It comes in a reusable glass dispenser, making it both practical and sustainable. The corn floss is also available in natural mint flavor and candelilla wax, enhancing your brushing experience.
Refills: Choose from our eco-friendly refill options:
- Corn Floss: Fully biodegradable, with natural mint flavor and candelilla wax.
- Bamboo Activated Charcoal Floss: Candelilla waxed bamboo charcoal floss with natural mint flavor, perfect for deodorizing, disinfecting, and whitening teeth.
Each refill pack contains two 30m spools of floss, packaged in food-grade wax paper and craft paper boxes for minimal environmental impact. Just pop a refill into your reusable dispenser, and you’re all set!
With these zero waste alternatives, you can enjoy a fresh smile while reducing your environmental footprint.
