TIOcare ecological dental care with good carbon footprint
Reduce your carbon footprint twice a day with brushing your teeth. How? By changing your consumer behavior and using a TIO toothbrush. Why? The TIOcare toothbrush is made from plants that are processed into bioplastic.
According to EN 13432, the replaceable brush head is biodegradable. Compared to conventional toothbrushes, which are made from fossil raw materials (often abroad), the TIOcare toothbrush has a significantly better carbon footprint. It is produced in Germany. Conscious product and packaging design also helps to reduce the environmental impact. In addition, the Germany-based manufacturing facilities ensure fair working conditions and shorter transport routes.
The bioplastics for the individual components of the eco toothbrush TIOcare are:
- Sustainable bio polyamide nylon made of castor oil
- Head made of cellulose acetate aka wood from FSC® certified plants
- Handle and travel case made of durable bio polyethylene made from sugarcane
Replaceable brush heads and reusable handle
The use of renewable resources (plants) and the recyclable brush head conserve resources. Also, the toothbrush contains no plasticizers or other toxins. Thanks to an innovative hygienic cap and an advantageous refill pack for replacing the brush heads, you avoid unnecessary waste. The handle with high-quality haptic is reusable. In comparison to conventional blister packaged toothbrushes, waste is significantly reduced. Less plastic waste, especially microplastic, ends up in the seas.
Oral hygiene with TIOcare is sustainable and resource-saving
The TIO UG was founded in Berlin in 2014 and started with a successful crowdfunding campaign. TIO founders Fabian and Benjamin got to know each other during their product design studies and were immediately talking the same language concerning sustainability. Together, they developed the idea of designing consumables and their packaging in such a way that the production process is as environmentally friendly as possible and that hardly any waste (such as packaging waste) is produced. Their goal is to rethink the inevitable consumer goods (such as toothbrushes), taking into account the current environmental situation (global warming, plastic garbage, etc.). With this vision, they are sending out a signal that sustainability and resource conservation are possible. And because environmental protection also includes corporate responsibility, the young Berlin-based company donates to the non-profit organization The Ocean Cleanup through every TIOcare oral hygiene product sold. A useful contribution to clean the oceans of the plastic.
