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

  1. Remove the bristles with pliers or snap off the brush head.

  2. Compost the bamboo handle in your home or garden compost.

  3. Get creative — many customers reuse their brushes for cleaning, crafts, or gardening tools.
