We know the feeling of wanting to be part of the eco-friendly movement but somehow it doesn’t really fit into our ‘schedule’. Do you find it a hassle to bring around a reusable straw with you everywhere you go?

Bamboo is a natural material that is biodegradable and this is why the bamboo toothbrush has made it to our list of eco-friendly products. Plastic toothbrushes are just like plastic straws which are extremely difficult to recycle, and millions of plastic toothbrushes are discarded every year which isn't good news for the environment. So the next time when you want to change up your toothbrush, consider swapping it to a bamboo toothbrush.
