Biodegradable Bamboo Toothbrushes

The 'Bam-Brush' is a Sustainable Toothbrush That Will Break Down

— June 4, 2015 — Eco
The 'Bam-Brush' is sustainable toothbrush made entirely from eco-friendly materials that will completely biodegrade once disposed of. With nearly 50 million pounds of toothbrushes going to US landfills each year, the Bam-Brush is an affordable zero-waste dental care option that you can feel good about using.

The Bam-Brush is made from freshly harvested bamboo for a durable, yet eco-friendly construction. The bristles are then crafted from a biodegradable compound called nylon four, to ensure that the entire product will completely break down once disposed of. Even the packaging of the product is biodegradable for an entirely green design. Of course, the Bam-Brush is not just an sustainable toothbrush, but a practical one as well. The product is just as durable as a standard toothbrush and it is intended to last for a minimum of three months.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Dental Care - The trend towards eco-friendly dental care products, such as the biodegradable bamboo toothbrush, presents an opportunity for companies to innovate in the sustainable dental care market.
2. Biodegradable Materials - The trend towards utilizing biodegradable materials in consumer products, such as the nylon four bristles used in the Bam-Brush, presents an opportunity for companies to develop novel biodegradable materials for a wide range of applications.
3. Zero-waste Products - The trend towards zero-waste products, such as the Bam-Brush, presents an opportunity for companies to develop innovative products and packaging that eliminate waste and reduce environmental impact.

3. Materials Science - The materials science industry can capitalize on the trend towards biodegradable materials by developing new and innovative biodegradable materials for use in a variety of consumer products such as plastics, textiles, and packaging.
