Adult toothbrush made from bioplastic - Biobrush Berlin
Behind these colorful toothbrushes, there is an overall concept of sustainable oral care products that conserve resources. The bioplastic used is made from wood residues. 4 colors to choose from.
Rather than incinerate the remains of the wood processing industry, to create thermal energy, the biobrush company decided to turn them into a toothbrush, with a negligible carbon footprint. these ecological toothbrushes and their packagings contain only a very small percentage of fossil materials. In the end, an ecological, aesthetic toothbrush designed for good oral hygiene.
What materials ?
Cellulose from the remains of the wood industry is used for the production of bioplastics. and it is thanks to this bioplastic that the sleeves and packagings of the toothbrush are made.
Of natural softeners are added to bioplastic. ♪ natural pigments dyes are carefully selected, with heavy metal levels widely below the usual thresholds. these toothbrushes do not contain bisphenol a (endocrine disruptor). Finally, the nylon hairs of the toothbrushes are made fromnatural ricin oil. According to independent dentists, nylon remains the most suitable hygienic material for oral care.
For the manufacture of bioplastic, hair and packaging, biobrush uses only minimal quantities of fossil raw materials. wood comes from sustainable logging.
Are they really effective ?
The biobrush company has obviously taken into account the recommendations of independent dentists, research institutes and manufacturers to design toothbrushes with excellent oral hygiene.
- uniformly cut hair
Rounded hair to reach the interdentary spaces.
- medium to soft hair
According to experts, soft hairs allow to obtain a good cleaning result while preserving the gum.
- brush head
Efficient brushing, which allows you to access the brushing of all teeth, optimally.
- hair blowers: multi-tufted
Tighter hair touffs optimise the result of brushing. However, hair tufts have intermediate spaces, essential for brush drying and to avoid the accumulation of bacteria.
- curved head
Facilitates access to molars.
What do we do once they're at the end of life ?
The colors used correspond to the standard din EN13432. bioplastic is biodegradable according to the iso standard 14855, but the brush nylon is not. The award-winning packaging is compostable.
Management of bioplastics in terms of recycling is only at its very beginning. the managers of the sorting centres face the challenge of recycling these new materials, a challenge that must also take into account economic profitability. Thermal upgrades provide electricity, heat and energy to households. So you can throw your toothbrush into the household waste bin !
And if a biobrush ends up in the landscape ?
Conventional plastic can put more than 400 years before decomposing.
The German federal environmental agency said in 2013 that, even after an extremely long time (about 400 years) of continuous grinding, a complete decomposition is not possible.
Bioplastic will only need a fraction of this period to break down.
Climate conditions, 94% of biobrush will be decomposed in a few years. Nylon is not yet biodegradable. as soon as an equally hygienic material for hair and biodegradable is ready to be marketed, the biobrush company undertakes to apply it.
Environment
- the use of fossil materials for the manufacture of bioplastics, hair and packaging are reduced to the maximum. for bioplastics, wood waste, which would normally be incinerated, is used.
- wood comes from sustainable forestry (certificate available).
- as these toothbrushes contain only very small amounts of fossil material, their carbon footprint at the end of their life cycle is negligible.
- the thermal energy resulting from their incineration will provide households with electricity and heating.
- biodegradable * - the colors used in these toothbrushes conform to the din standard in 13432. bioplastic is biodegradable in accordance with the iso standard 14855 and the award-winning packaging is even compostable.
*Waste separation facilities face a serious challenge with respect to bioplastics, as their disposal must be treated economically justifiable.
