Truthbrush - Olive with Medium Plant Based Bristles

BRITISHTruthbrush is a British company located in Ashburton, at the heart of South Devon, close to Dartmoor National Park. Their toothbrushes are made in China, the natural habitat of bamboo.SUSTAINABLEEvery year over a billion plastic toothbrushes are thrown away worldwide, ending up in landfill, in the sea or washed up on a beach. Using a bamboo toothbrush with a biodegradable handle is a small change but over time can make a big difference. Bamboo is beautiful to look at, warm to touch and fully biodegradable. The natural antibacterial and antifungal properties of bamboo mean the Truthbrush is hygienic too. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, and is an endlessly renewable resource. It grows naturally without using any pesticides or fertilisers, takes in greenhouse gasses and produces 35% more oxygen than the equivalent trees.Truthbrush toothbrushes are made from Moso bamboo, a type of bamboo which is inedible to pandas. Moso bamboo grows up to a metre a day in China as it has the perfect conditions to thrive. The bamboo used to make the toothbrushes comes from sustainable forests in China.About the BrandTruthbrush was launched in 2018 by two friends, Catherine and Catherine, who are based in Devon, UK. With their combined expertise as a hospital doctor and a buyer they designed a toothbrush which is not only healthy and practical to use, but looks great in the home too.Although shipping to Europe has a carbon footprint, the amount is tiny for each brush. For this reason Truthbrush has chosen to carbon offset shipping from China to the UK.
