Why Bamboo?
- Bamboo is the worlds fastest naturally renewing resource.
- Inherently it is antimicrobial,anti-fungal and odor resistant.
- There are more than 1000 species of bamboo on the planet of which Pandas only consume 30-40.
- We use one of the many species pandas do not consume to craft our brushes ^ alternatives.
Bamboo VS Plastic:
- Our bamboo toothbrushes will provide you with the same quality clean thanks to our dental grade DuPont nylon bristles, just like your plastic toothbrush at home minus the waste!
- Our bamboo handles are 100% Biodegradable, unlike your current plastic one that will take over 1000 years to break down.
- More than 90% of toothbrushes used are still plastic with over 3 billion being produced & sold every year worldwide.
- Every single toothbrush we have ever used is still out there somewhere today.
A Natural Alternative To fight plastic pollution. We guarantee PureGLO brushes and cases with the MOSO bamboo, the most sustainable bamboo out there and not consumed by pandas!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is bamboo a better material for toothbrush handles than plastic?
Bamboo is the world's fastest-renewing natural resource and is naturally antimicrobial and biodegradable, unlike plastic handles that take centuries to break down.
How long does it take a bamboo toothbrush to break down compared to plastic?
A bamboo handle breaks down naturally over time since it's biodegradable, while a plastic toothbrush can persist in landfills or oceans for centuries.
Do bamboo toothbrushes clean teeth as well as plastic ones?
Yes — they use the same dental-grade nylon bristles found in standard toothbrushes, so you get the same quality clean without the plastic waste.
Is the bamboo used in these toothbrushes taken from panda habitats?
No — pureGLO uses MOSO bamboo, one of over a thousand bamboo species, which pandas don't consume, so production doesn't compete with panda food sources.
How big is the plastic toothbrush waste problem?
Over 3 billion plastic toothbrushes are produced worldwide every year, and since none of them biodegrade, virtually every one ever made still exists somewhere today.
