Brush with Bamboo Introduces Partially Plant-Based Bristles

Yesterday, I wrote about toothbrush companies incorrectly claiming that their toothbrush bristles were biodegradable, and I mentioned that I personally use a Brush with Bamboo toothbrush. It’s not perfect, and the bristles are not biodegradable, but the difference is that the company isn’t claiming that they are. And, after doing much research, they have come out with an upgraded toothbrush with bristles made from plant-based plastic instead of petroleum-based plastic. Yes, they are still plastic. But the company is striving to get away from fossil fuels, and I think this new bristle could be a step in the right direction.
