What does this brand sell?
Georganics was born in the UK in 2015, when Alessandro, the founder, started to formulate his own toothpaste for himself and his friends. The company takes pride in its ingredients and packaging, developing products that are both good for you and the planet. Nevertheless, they are still continually looking for ways to improve and to make sure that each year they make a bigger difference in the world we live in.
“To produce oral care products which are accessible to everyone and aim at minimising the environmental impact of this essential daily routine, utilising compostable and reusable packaging, making a low-impact lifestyle a reality for everyone.”

To avoid CO2 emissions linked to transportation, Georganics asks you to pack a minimum of 1 year supply of toothbrushes if you are using their recycling scheme.
Additionally, water transportation is safe compared to conventional mouthwash and toothpaste, further reducing CO2 emissions.
No information on this is provided by the brand.
Conventional mouthwash and toothpaste require a considerably high amount of water which in this case is decreased by offering these in tablet form.

Over 300 million toothpaste tubes end up in the UK landfills per year. The main goal of Georganics is to eliminate plastic from your bathroom. Fun fact: 1 jar of their tablets is equivalent to the toothpaste in 7 plastic tubes.
Georganics reuses shredded cardboard from the packaging their ingredients come in, ensuring less waste is created throughout the entire production process. The packaging is plastic-free, biodegradable, and recyclable. Moreover, the glass and aluminium jars can be refilled, re-purposed or recycled. The aluminium jars can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality, which is definitely a plus when we want to avoid as much waste as possible.
Additionally, Georganics has partnered with TerraCycle where they have a recycling scheme in place where you can send your used Beechwood and Sonic toothbrush heads to them and they will take care of recycling these. These products are separated into fibres which can be used eventually to be moulded into recycled plastic products. This scheme allows Georganics to recycle over 250,000 used Beechwood Toothbrushes and 25,000 Sonic Toothbrush heads per year, which are then repurposed thanks to TerraCycle.
Not only their packaging is compostable but also some of the products fall into this category: Georganics Dental Floss products and the Beechwood Toothbrush handle can be composted, avoiding further waste.
No toxic materials are used during the supply chain of Georganics. Even the print they use for their packaging is made from vegetable ink.
Georganics is a Living Wage Employer and believes their staff deserve a wage that meets everyday needs.
