Truthbrush Ltd Sustainability Actions

Created bamboo toothbrushes

We created the Truthbrush to combine sustainable bamboo brushes with beautiful design. Back in 2017, we were given a plastic toothbrush at a hotel. It was flimsy. Made to be used and disposed of. And it got us thinking. We realised this one brush would only last a few weeks before being thrown away to join the mountain of plastic pollution out there.

Uses sustainably sourced bamboo

Sustainably sourced bamboo is the perfect material for the Truthbrush as it is beautiful to look at, warm to touch and fully biodegradable. We pay a premium for our bamboo so that we can be sure it has been sustainably farmed from forests that are managed to strict environmental, social and economic standards.

Uses castor oil bristles

We therefore use bristles which are 100% castor oil, which means less petroleum-based plastic. We are constantly searching for an alternative, but until then, we believe that a biodegradable handle with castor oil-based bristles is much better than a plastic toothbrush.

Carbon-neutral shipping

We know that shipping has a carbon footprint, although the amount is tiny for each brush. This is why we have chosen to carbon offset shipping both from China to us and from us to you. We’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint—shipping is carbon-neutral both to us and from us to you, minimizing our environmental impact.

Recyclable packaging

Each Truthbrush is carefully hand-wrapped in tissue paper and packaged in a recyclable and biodegradable cardboard pillow pack to reduce packaging waste.

Donates and plants trees

As members of 1% for the Planet, Truthbrush donates 1% of our total sales to environmental non-profits. Additionally, we plant a tree for every wholesale order we receive, helping to combat deforestation.

Recycling and reuse guidance

To dispose of your bamboo toothbrush, simply snap off the head or pull out the bristles with a pair of pliers and either place the handle in the garden waste bin or home compost. Alternatively, you can send it back to us and we will recycle it through the Terracycle programme. Or, why not re-use the Truthbrush in any creative way you can.
