Recycled Plastic Toothbrushes

Cocofloss' Soft and Eco-Conscious Toothbrush Helps to Reduce Waste

— June 23, 2021 — Eco
Cocofloss is introducing recycled plastic toothbrushes made from ocean-bound materials and it's on a mission to remove 19 tons of trash from coastal areas. The dentist-designed toothbrush features ultra-soft micro-bristles and a recycled ocean-bound plastic handle, plus it's a product that's said to be 16 times "more effective at cleaning between teeth than a standard toothbrush" based on the findings of an independent Swiss university study.

Available in vibrant shades like Blue Bliss, Tickled Pink, Orange Zest and Limoncello Yellow, the toothbrush makes the most of a material that's already available in abundance. As a result of working with recycled ocean-bound plastic for a year, Cocofloss anticipates saving 8,494 kilowatt-hours of energy, 1,489 cubic feet of landfill space and it will help to avoid over 3,000 pounds of CO2 emissions.
Trend Themes
1. Recycled Ocean-bound Plastic - The increasing awareness and push toward eco-conscious production presents an opportunity for more products made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.
2. Dentist-designed Toothbrushes - Collaborations between dentists and product designers present the opportunity to create more effective and impactful toothbrushes.
3. Micro-bristle Technology - The trend towards micro-bristles presents opportunities for more effective and efficient cleaning in a variety of personal hygiene products.
Industry Implications
1. Oral Care - With a growing emphasis on eco-consciousness in production, oral care companies may consider incorporating recycled materials and collaborating with dental professionals to create more effective and innovative products.
2. Sustainable Manufacturing - As more companies adopt eco-friendly practices, sustainable manufacturing technologies present opportunities to reduce waste and utilize recycled materials.
3. Personal Hygiene - Advancements in micro-bristle technology can be applied to other personal hygiene products for more effective and efficient cleaning, providing disruption potential in the industry.
