Biobrush, brosse à dent écologique

Instead of incinerating the remains of the wood processing industry to create thermal energy, the company Biobrush decided to transform them into toothbrushes with a negligible carbon footprint.

These eco-friendly toothbrushes and their packaging contain a very small percentage of fossil fuels.

The result is an ecological, aesthetic toothbrush designed for good oral hygiene. 

What materials are they made of ?

Cellulose from the remains of the wood industry is used to make bioplastic. The handles and packaging of the toothbrushes are made from this bioplastic.

Natural softeners are added to the bioplastic. The natural pigments in the dyes are carefully selected, with heavy metal levels well below the usual thresholds. These toothbrushes do not contain bisphenol A (endocrine disruptor). Finally, the nylon bristles of the toothbrushes are made from natural castor oil. According to independent dentists, nylon remains the most hygienic material for oral care.

Biobrush uses only minimal amounts of fossil raw materials in the production of the bioplastic, the bristles and the packaging. The wood comes from sustainable forestry.

Do they really work ?

Biobrush, brosse à dents validée par les dentistes Biobrush, a toothbrush validated by dentistsBiobrush has obviously taken into account the recommendations of independent dentists, research institutes and manufacturers in order to design toothbrushes offering excellent oral hygiene.

- Evenly cut bristles
Rounded bristles to reach interdental spaces 

- Medium to soft bristles
According to experts, soft bristles provide a good cleaning result while protecting the gums.

- Brush head
Efficient brushing, allowing optimal access to all teeth.

- Bristle tufts : multi-tufted
Tighter bristle tufts optimise the brushing result. However, the bristle tufts have spaces in between, which are essential for drying the brush and preventing the build-up of bacteria.

- Curved head
Facilitates access to the molars.

What happens to them at the end of their life ?

The dyes used correspond to the DIN EN13432 standard.  The bioplastic is biodegradable according to DIN EN ISO 14855, but the nylon of the brush is not. The award-winning packaging is compostable.

The management of bioplastics in terms of recycling is still in its infancy. Sorting centre managers are faced with the challenge of recycling these new materials, a challenge that must also take into account economic profitability. Thermal recovery provides electricity, heat and energy for households. So you can throw your toothbrush in the household waste bin!

What if a biobrush ends up in the landscape ?

Conventional plastic can take over 400 years to decompose.

The German Federal Environment Agency stated in 2013 that even after an extremely long time (> 400 years) of continuous shredding, complete decomposition is not possible.

The bioplastic will only need a fraction of this time to decompose.

Depending on climatic conditions, 94% of the biobrush will decompose within a few years. Nylon is not yet biodegradable. As soon as an equally hair-friendly and biodegradable material is ready to be marketed, Biobrush is committed to applying it.

Environmental issues

- The use of fossil materials for the production of bioplastic, hair and packaging is reduced to a minimum. For the bioplastic, wood waste, which would normally be incinerated, is used.

- The wood comes from sustainable forestry (certificate available).

- As these toothbrushes contain only very small amounts of fossil materials, 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 colours used in these toothbrushes comply with DIN EN 13432. The bioplastic is biodegradable according to DIN EN ISO 14855 and the award-winning packaging is even compostable.

*Waste separation facilities face a serious challenge with bioplastics, as their disposal must be handled in an economically justifiable manner.

 

The Penn'Ty Bio opinion

What we liked was the concept of transforming materials that until now were considered as waste. Rather than taking raw materials from our environment, we might as well use the residues of wood processing ! 

An excellent alternative to the conventional toothbrush. A toothbrush that meets medical and hygiene requirements and is environmentally friendly.

Composition

Handle made from wood chips. Brush made from natural castor oil. 

Versions for children

These brushes are available in 2 colours (blue and pink) for children
