Sustainability
This product meets the following sustainability criteria
Handle is biodegradable (according to EN 13432). Based on FSC certified wood and therefore biodegradable, the material of our toothbrush head is certified compostable according to EN 13432 and ASTM D 6400, should it ever end up in the environment. The cap, handle and the foil of the cap can be disposed of in the yellow bin, so they have the chance to be brought back to life. Although the material of our brush heads is theoretically compostable, bioplastics in Germany are unfortunately not yet allowed to be disposed of in the bio bin. As long as this has not been done, the replaceable heads are best kept in residual waste, above which they end up in thermal utilization.
Resource-saving made from bioplastics based on renewable resources. Replaceable brush heads reduce the amount of waste in comparison to conventional toothbrushes. Handle: Produced from sugar cane instead of crude oil. One ton of this renewable material can store up to 3.09 tons of CO₂ while growing and thereby reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Innovative, replaceable brush head mechanism saves 70% waste – per head.
