Five Natural-Bristle Toothbrushes - Sustainably Harvested
SKU: 14:200003699#5pack Boar Bristles
Environmental Benefits
This five-piece toothbrush set eliminates single-use plastic from your bathroom routine. Made from rapidly renewable bamboo and natural boar bristles, each brush biodegrades completely within months—both handle and bristles return to soil without toxic residue. By choosing this set, you prevent approximately five plastic toothbrushes from entering landfills or oceans annually. The sustainable harvesting practices support responsible forestry, while the compostable packaging reduces packaging waste. Switching to natural-bristle bamboo toothbrushes is one of the highest-impact swaps for zero-waste households, offsetting years of plastic consumption with a single purchase.
Specific Materials Used
This five-piece set features handles crafted from sustainably harvested bamboo, a fast-growing grass that regenerates without pesticides or fertilisers. The bristles are sourced from naturally shed boar hair, eliminating synthetic nylon while maintaining superior cleaning performance. Both materials are fully biodegradable and compostable, breaking down within months in home or industrial composting systems. The minimalist design uses no glues, dyes, or plastic components—just pure, functional materials. Bamboo's natural antimicrobial properties help keep bristles fresher between uses, while the lightweight construction makes travel convenient. Each brush is individually wrapped in compostable paper, ensuring your entire purchase aligns with zero-waste principles from unboxing to disposal.
Disposal / End-of-Life Instructions
When your toothbrush reaches the end of its life, simply compost it. Remove any remaining bristles if desired, then place the bamboo handle directly into your home compost bin or green waste collection. The handle breaks down within 6–12 months in active composting conditions. Natural boar bristles decompose similarly, though some composters prefer removing them first for faster degradation. If home composting isn't available, industrial composting facilities accept both materials without issue. Never landfill or incinerate—composting returns nutrients to soil and closes the loop. This five-piece set prevents approximately five plastic toothbrushes from persisting in landfills for 400+ years. Store in a dry place between uses to extend bristle life, then compost guilt-free when worn.
