We've taken great care to make The Boo Collective as eco-friendly as possible. Each toothbrush comes in a simple and easily recycled cardboard box, and we even the packages we use for shipping are fully recyclable and plastic free instead we use recycled paper and boxes, paper envelopes or compostable postage bags.

Why Bamboo?

We think bamboo is the perfect alternate material for toothbrushes. It's not only naturally antibacterial, is is also resistant to mould and is the fastest growing and most versatile land plant in the world.

Bamboo is also biodegradable (YAY), which means your used toothbrush (minus the bristles) will break down naturally rather than hang around in landfill for 1000 years!

Are your bamboo products compostable?

Yes they are! That is why we LOVE bamboo so much.

We recommend that you dispose of our used toothbrushes in your compost bin or green waste bin.

First either use pliers to pull the bristles out or snap off the head entirely, and dispose of separately.

When placed in a compost the toothbrush handle typically takes approximately 3 years to completely break down when fully submerged in soil.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to dispose of your toothbrush properly.

Are the bristles biodegradable too?

Unfortunately no. You will need to remove the Vegan friendly bristles from your brush or chop the head off before placing it into your compost or green waste bin.

No bristles on the market are biodegradable at this stage, although we are working on it as we are always trying to innovate!

How sustainable is Bamboo?

Bamboo really is a wonderful natural material. It can grow up to 1 metre a day, it helps with global warming, it also helps with CO2 absorption and oxygen production. Bamboo is organic and wild and watered by the rain.

Are we taking the Panda's food?

We choose bamboo the pandas don’t eat. The species of bamboo we use two different species Bamboo and the pandas don’t eat, they eat ‘arrow’ bamboo, so you can be safe in the knowledge that we don't take any food or habitat from the pandas.
