Top 5 Green Toothbrush Tips: Recycline Preserve

recyclinepreservetoothbrush_photos.jpg

Yes, no matter what, you should replace your toothbrush when it gets worn out. But also, yes, how about trying to lighten your trash load at the same time!

The Recycline Preserve Toothbrush handle is made from recycled Stonyfield Yogurt containers. Send the used brush back to Massechusetts where it will be reprocessed into material for plastic lumber.

It’s true, the Preserve’s handle is made of polypropylene sourced from recycled Stonyfield Farm yogurt cups. Plus, the Preserve’s handle and bristles are effectively recycled together - the polypropylene and nylon actually strengthen as they combine in the recycling process.

Also, if that wasn’t enough, all their packaging is made from recyclable materials, and the reusable brush canister provides a sanitary holder to keep your brush clean and portable.
