Bamboo or Electric: Choosing the Eco-Friendly Toothbrush

A study by University College London and Trinity College Dublin compared the environmental impact of different toothbrush types, finding that electric toothbrushes have a significantly higher environmental impact than bamboo ones. While bamboo toothbrushes are more sustainable than plastic or electric options, they still have environmental drawbacks, such as land use issues. Innovations like Suri's recyclable electric toothbrush with a longer-lasting battery and repairable design offer a more sustainable alternative. The study highlights the need for continued research and development of eco-friendly toothbrush materials.
