We all know that dental health is very important. One way to keep yours in good condition is by brushing your teeth at least two times a day. But most traditional toothbrushes are made of plastic and this poses a great danger to the environment.
In order to reduce the negative impact of our dental health practices on the ecology, experts have come up with the idea of replacing the plastic part of the typical toothbrush with bamboo. Without a doubt, this is a much more eco-friendly alternative. By adding a couple of bamboo toothbrush options to your product line, you can attract more potential customers while also doing your own part to save the environment at the same time.
What is a Bamboo Toothbrush?
When you first see it, there would seem to be nothing extraordinary about a bamboo toothbrush because it appears just like an ordinary toothbrush. But if you take a closer look, you will immediately see that the handle is not made of plastic. Instead, it is a bamboo handle that is completely natural and 100% biodegradable.
People throw-away toothbrushes by the millions every day.
Since they are non-biodegradable, plastic toothbrushes will just sit in our landfills for years and years to come. With bamboo toothbrushes, this will no longer be a problem.
Bamboo is a very pliable but sturdy type of wood, which makes them the perfect material for a toothbrush handle. They are also quite sustainable because bamboo trees grow at a very rapid rate. Even if the bamboo toothbrush manufacturers demand a faster harvest of bamboo, this will not be a problem because they will grow back very quickly.
With all these attributes, it is easy to see that bamboo toothbrushes are just what we need. It will therefore be a great move for your oral care business if you can find a supplier that can provide you with high-quality toothbrushes that you can offer to your target market.
The Best Materials of Bamboo Toothbrush
Of course, bamboo is the main material that bamboo toothbrush manufacturers use for making this innovative new product. There are different kinds of bamboo but the ones that are used for making these toothbrushes are the Moso bamboo.
These are endemic to China and grow very quickly. As a matter of fact, they grow an astonishing 1 meter per day, and this is if they are in the wild. The ones that are specifically grown to be harvested grow a lot faster.
Upon harvest, bamboo goes through several processes before they end up becoming the handles of toothbrushes. They will be cut into pieces, purified of all impurities and dried. When the wood is ready, it will go through a machine that will shape and polish the handle, as well as punch holes towards the end of the handle.
The other main element of bamboo toothbrushes is the bristle head. Unfortunately, we still have not discovered any biodegradable material that will be feasible as bristles. As of now, the bristles of bamboo toothbrushes are made of DuPont nylon, which is a synthetic material. Some bamboo toothbrush manufacturers have experimented with using animal hair and other natural materials for bristles. However, none of these trials have yielded a fully functional product.
The Best Customizations for Your Brands
Bamboo toothbrushes are an exciting new product and the public is still at the point where they are very eager to get one for themselves and for their loved ones. As an oral product distributor, it would be very wise to take advantage of this situation in the market and present a wide variety of options to your target market.
Here at Cinoll, there are many different ways to come up with great bamboo toothbrushes to suit the needs of a varied clientele. We have a wide range of customization options that you can take advantage of in order to acquire the exact kinds of bamboo toothbrushes that you want to sell.
Soft or Hard Bristles
Nylon is the only material that most bamboo toothbrush manufacturers use for the bristles and Cinoll is no exception. Although the material is not fully biodegradable, these bristles are guaranteed to contain absolutely no fossil oil. They also come from sources with complete ISO certifications. You can choose to have soft or hard bristles for your bamboo toothbrushes. We can also customize the color of the bristles to match your preference, although shades of brown are the most common since they go well with the natural color of the bamboo handle.
Bamboo Handles
The handles of our bamboo toothbrushes are made of 100% bamboo material. We have a prefabricated template for its shape and size but you can avail of customization and we can create them in the shape and size that you need. If you want your brand and logo to be on the handle, as most of our clients do, we can print, carve or emboss them into the wooden handle.
The sizes or lengths of our bamboo handles can also vary depending on your needs. We have a generic size for adults and for children but we can easily modify these to the measurements that you want.
Packaging
The outer box that contains our toothbrushes is fully biodegradable just like the bamboo toothbrush, as it is made of 100% paper. We can print any kind of text or graphic that you require on the package.
Our clients can also choose the number of toothbrushes that come in each box. Individually boxed toothbrushes are the most popular choice but we also create packs of 4 or any number that the clients might ask for.
