About Us
Every year, billions of plastic toothbrushes end up in landfills and oceans. Most people want to reduce their plastic waste — but many don’t know where to begin.
We make it simple.
At My Bamboo Brush, we believe real change starts with small steps. Swapping your plastic toothbrush for a bamboo one is one of the easiest, most impactful changes you can make. Our products are designed to fit seamlessly into your routine — same clean, better planet.
Why Switch to Bamboo?
-
Plastic toothbrushes take over 1,000 years to break down.
-
One person switching to bamboo could save 4 kg of plastic waste in their lifetime.
-
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on Earth, naturally antibacterial, and completely biodegradable.
We use Moso bamboo — the kind pandas don’t eat — so no habitats are harmed. Every brush you buy supports a cleaner, more conscious world.
About the Bristles
Our toothbrushes feature DuPont® nylon-6,10 bristles, trusted for over 70 years and recommended by dental professionals. These bristles are durable, low-absorption, and effective for daily use.
Currently, truly biodegradable bristles are either ineffective or made from animal hair — which we do not support. We’re actively researching a better alternative. Our goal: develop the world’s first 100% biodegradable toothbrush without compromising performance or ethics.
Our Promise
We’re committed to:
-
Using sustainably harvested bamboo
-
Working toward full sustainability certifications
-
Offering clear disposal instructions
-
Constantly improving through research and feedback
How to Dispose of Your Brush
-
Remove the bristles with pliers or snap off the brush head.
-
Compost the bamboo handle in your home or garden compost.
-
Get creative — many customers reuse their brushes for cleaning, crafts, or gardening tools.
