We think it should be easier to reduce your plastic usage. That is why we created Absolute Bamboo, a high quality, bamboo brush at an affordable, everyday price. We believe if you want to make a difference, you should not have to pay more to do it. Join in themoment, one brush at the time! The Absolute Bamboo brush has a handle made from 100% biodegradable sustainably grown bamboo. The bristles are made from nylon and need to be removed prior to composting the handle. To remove the bristles, we suggest using pliers to pull them out or snapping off the head of the brush. A bit of an effort, but worth it! The packaging is cardboard and is fully recyclable. Dentists recommend brushing for 2 minutes, twice a day for proper oral-care. You should replace your toothbrush at least every 3 month.
