The Preserve Toothbrush

This is a post about a toothbrush.  It doesn't have batteries or some sort of built in toothpaste dispenser.  What it does have is free postage so it can be disposed of in an environmentally better way.

How often do we get a new toothbrush (plastic) and toss the packaging (plastic) and the old one (plastic) in the trash (landfill)?  The Preserve Toothbrush eliminates the waste in all of those steps.

  • The brush is made from recycled yogurt cups
  • The package is a pre-paid mailer for your old brush
  • That gets shipped back to Preserve to get recycled.

Ideas and products like this make a difference for our environment. How big?
