Is your heads compostable?
Our organic heads are made of 95% raw bamboo, 4% sustainably sourced cornstarch PLA and 1% plant-based castor nut oil bristles. The first part can be composted in a home compost, while the remaining 5% should be handled by a recycling plant.
What are bristles made of?
Our BPA-free plant-based bristles are crafted from castor seed oil. They eventually break down in a home composting environment, though we can't label them 'compostable' due to the required timeframe. Nevertheless, it's a significant improvement over petroleum-based bristles, as ours eventually become plant food!
Does your brush head rotate?
Our electric toothbrush utilizes sonic cleaning technology vibrating at up to 38,000 vibrations per minute. Dentist studies confirm the efficiency of both technologies. However, a key distinction is that rotating heads can't be made from raw bamboo and need a composite material with some plastic.
Can bamboo toothbrushes give you splinters?
Our bamboo replacement heads are smooth and splinter free. You can trust Sustainable tomorrow on that matter as we carefully control our products before they are packaged and shipped.
Do bamboo toothbrushes get modly?
Bamboo organic toothbrushes can get moldy if not dried properly. Towel-dry the bristles and handle after use, and avoid soaking in a cup. Dentists recommend replacing heads every 2-3 months. For electric toothbrushes, air-dry after each use to prevent mold.
What is the handle made of?
The toothbrush's handle is made of recyclable plastic with a faux bamboo look to match the organic toothbrush heads. This decision prioritizes safety and durability, as using real bamboo presented issues such as water absorption, fire risk with internal electronics, increased noise, and susceptibility to mold.
