7 reasons to ditch your plastic toothbrush right now.

Toothbrushes can definitely be your first sustainable switch in adapting an eco - friendly lifestyle. If each person in India replaces their plastic toothbrushes for a bamboo one, we would probably save millions of plastic chunks in landfills because plastic takes a very long time to breakdown and has adverse effects on the environment.

We change several toothbrushes a year which not only turns into bundles of garbage but also plastic toothbrush toxins can be dangerous to your health because they contain PVC plastics. I have been using the Bamboo India tooth brush for about a week and I really wish I was aware about this ever since I started brushing. I have compiled 7 reasons to why bamboo is the best sustainable switch.

1. Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial : Toothbrushes are something that are used at least twice a day and is a daily utility product so it is important we take care of its hygiene. Since Bamboo is naturally anti microbial you will not have to worry about the awful bacteria growing on your toothbrush.

2. Bamboo is stronger : Bamboo has an extremely high tensile strength, with the compressive force of concrete and the strength-to-weight-ratio of steel. Higher the strength more the durability of a product.

3. Bamboo is renewable : Bamboo is a single fastest growing species of plant and it can grow as tall as 60 feet in just about 60 days.

4. Bamboo Toothbrushes are stylish : All of us would agree that Bamboo looks more stylish than the regular plastic irrespective of the product.Anything wooden instantly catches our attention and gives a unique touch to your persona. Bamboo can make a style statement while also being environmentally conscious.

5. BPA- free corn fiber bristles : Bamboo India uses BPA-free bristles in their products. BPA stands for Bisphenol-A which has proven to be fatal to the health especially infants and kids. The problem with BPA is that it can leach from containers into beverages and foods and pose a potential health risk. BPA free is probably the right choice for daily utility products like toothbrushes.

6. Bamboo is Biodegradable : The Environmental Toothbrush can be disposed of safely by returning it to earth in compost or landfill. Both the bamboo and bristles will biodegrade into soil, without pollution. Wow! How wonderful is that.

7. Bamboo is guilt-free : By holding this toothbrush in your hand you are becoming an integral part of a greener future and hence reducing the overall carbon footprint. Every small step counts and helps in creating conscious citizens.

Bamboo India offers daily utility products beyond toothbrushes. Like straws, keychains, speakers and comb which are elegant, innovative, handcrafted and environment friendly. Find the full range of products that they offer here

The reason why I prefer Bamboo India is because every component is plant based right from bristles, handles, wrapper and box. I understand that its difficult to eliminate plastic as we are so used to it and it is more than a habit. But a small effort can really leave an impact on our mother nature. Let's up-cycle and promote conscious consumerism.
