The giant panda eats 42 species of bamboo. However, the bamboo used by The Bamboo Brush Society grows up to 28m high, which means that it is out of the panda’s reach. Therefore the brushes pose no threat to giant panda’s!

5 billion plastic toothbrushes are used per year and approximately 2 billions of those end up in landfills and in oceans. Bamboo grows fast and is biodegradable, and will help keep oceans cleaned from plastic with this alternative by composting it in your home or in a commercial composting bin.

Moreover, the roots of the bamboo are turned into food, the larger parts become furniture and the rest become toothbrushes, toothbrushes, or toothpicks.

Furthermore,they offer a recollection scheme for the toothbrushes to recycle the nylon bristles (plastic).

Bamboo grows after harvesting without the use of any harsh chemicals or pesticides. It also doesn’t need any fertilizers.
