The Environmental Toothbrush was designed by a Brisbane dentist to overcome the issue of the massive volume of plastic toothbrushes thrown away every year worldwide.  Every bit of damaging plastic waste that we can remove from the waste stream is helpful.

Made from bamboo, a natural cellulose fibre, they are biodegradable, environmentally sustainable, and do not pollute the environment.  The bristles are made from a BPA free polymer resistant to microbial growth.  

Even the packaging is bio-degradable!  BPA free, fairly traded and vegan friendly. 

 Price is per toothbrush.

A bamboo toothbrush, with soft bristles for children. BPA free and Fair traded and vegan friendly.

The handle is made of MOSO bamboo, an environmentally sustainable timber. Bamboo needs no pesticides or fertiliser to grow. It’s a super fast growing grass that is more efficient at taking CO2 from the air and producing more O2 than trees. This bamboo is cultivated for between three to five years, and then harvested. It re-generates itself naturally, with minimal rain and without the need for harmful pesticides. In fact, by harvesting and using the bamboo, it helps to control unwanted spread into agricultural and natural forest areas. The bamboo is grown by many local farmers (NOT PLANTATION).

The bamboo is heat treated to carbonise the surface of the bamboo, giving it a quality finish and good service life. The carbonisation finishing process provides water resistance and prevents the growth of microbes (bacteria and moulds) during normal use.

The bristles are made from a BPA FREE polymer resistant to microbial growth during normal use, to ensure safety and durability.

We recommend you rinse and dry your toothbrush after use to keep it clean.

Disposing of your toothbrush

For best results, most dentist’s recommend you replace your toothbrush either monthly or at least every quarter some even say use it until it stops.

To answer the main question, HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? – We test drove a toothbrush for over 8 months so yes they last (not that we suggest you do that).

The handle can be disposed of safely by returning it to earth in compost. The bristles are Nylon 6 and can be recycled (check with local authority)

Because the Environmental Toothbrush does not come in a variety of colours, you need to customise your toothbrush to differentiate yours from others in the household. We recommend writing your name in pencil on the handle, or being creative and decorating your toothbrush to suit your personality.

Price is per toothbrush.

Onya small shopping bag - Olive Red Tree design.

Onya's reusable shopping bags are made from rPet material – recycled plastic drink bottles.

It’s exciting to think that the bag you carry your shopping home in, is made of “rubbish” otherwise destined for landfill.

You will find these bags super strong and they are often capable of holding far more than you may be able to carry!

These lightweight bags are also incredibly compact.  Folding up into a pouch the size of your fist, Onya shopping bags are super convenient to carry.  They also feature a sturdy carabiner clip so you can clip your shopping bag onto your handbag or belt.  Never leave  your reusable shopping bags at home again!

The built-in shoulder strap also comes in very handy when you simply do not have enough hands.  Inside the bag, you will find the pouch and drawstring with the carabiner attached.  Simply clip the carabiner into the small caddy loop found on the inside near the bag opening, and your bag is now a tote.

The caddy loops on the inside of the bag opening can be used by the checkout attendant and slipped over the plastic bag dispenser most checkouts use.  This allows the checkout attendant to more easily pack your shopping bags for you.

On the front of the bag you will find a small pocket.  This is useful to hold your shopping list and pen or mobile phone and car keys, or any other small items.

Features:

  • Convenient carabiner clip means it is literally always ‘Onya’
  • Built-in shoulder strap makes this a very versatile bag
  • Built-in shopping caddy loops for easy packing
  • Just 50g total weight
  • Useful front pocket
