This Georganics toothbrush for children is made from sustainable FSC-certified beechwood, meaning that the handle is compostable, and the company plants a tree for each that is cut down. It also states that the factory that makes the brushes uses excess wood for heating. The bristles are nylon so must be separated from the handle before the latter is composted, but this is made easy by a ‘snap off’ indented line – users can then post the bristles free of charge to Georganics, which will send them to a recycler (TerraCycle) as part of its Zero To Landfill scheme.
Humble Brush, meanwhile, claims to be the most-sold bamboo brush for children. The handle is made from sustainable bamboo, and like the above is biodegradable. The bristles are nylon, so must be detached from the handle and sent to an appropriate recycler.
Both of these toothbrush options come in paper packaging that can be either recycled or composted.
