[Can it be composted?] 】
If you remove the brush with tweezers or, if it is difficult, cut off the brush part with a saw, etc., the bamboo on the handle will return to nature and can be composted.
The kraft box in the packaging is recyclable or compostable.
Before composting, you can upcycle it as a garden marker or use it as a cleaning brush!
[How do I dispose of it in the trash?] 】
Dispose of the bamboo on the handle in combustible garbage, and the plastic in the brush part in non-combustible garbage.
[Why is the brush part plastic?] 】
A 100% biodegradable toothbrush would be ideal, but it has not yet been developed after searching all over the world.
Even if the brush part is plastic, we think that a bamboo toothbrush is the best option at the moment.
In the future, we aim to become a material that returns to nature, including the brush part.
There are brushes made from natural animal hair, but it is difficult to confirm whether the animal has been treated humanely and is no longer vegan.
Animal hair is also prone to mold and requires frequent toothbrush changes.
