A plastic is the first thing that goes into your mouth every morning (and evening) every single day for years and years? Read on for more facts about how you can change that..

Plastic Toothbrushes are not Biodegradable nor can they be recycled. They are made of complex polymers and plastics which are now estimated to take over 400 years to decompose. Plus, they release toxic chemicals during their extremely slow process of decomposing. Now amplify that fact, 4 times a year for 7 billion people, which is roughly 2.80 trillion toothbrushes, every year, and growing year on year. It translates into roughly 70 million metric tons of plastic waste just from toothbrushes. 70 million metric tons of plastic that cannot be recycled or upcycled, that does not biodegrade, does not decompose and cannot be trusted to go quietly without further poisoning our soil or water. Microplastics that sounds extremely sophisticated is the output of such waste, and they are now present in our water, food and even freshly fallen snow. Now, see where that takes us in 10 years from now!

Is there a solution for this? 

Yes. AEV Bamboo toothbrushes are a perfect eco-friendly alternative to unfriendly plastic toothbrushes.

Actually, most people believe that Bamboo is a tree. In reality, Bamboo is a variety of grass and is regenerative by nature. That means that as long as the root exists, bamboo can be harvested regularly, and it will continue to grow back. In fact, regular harvesting of bamboo improves the yield as well as the quality of the bamboo. Some varieties of bamboo are known to regrow up to 1 metre in 24 hours.

Bamboo is known to be naturally anti-microbial and anti-bacterial. It is also user friendly and can be shaped into various products.

AEV Bamboo Toothbrushes are ergonomically designed to enhance your brushing experience. The unique shape of the head ensures that the bristles reach every corner of your mouth for wholesome cleaning. AEV Water Bamboo Toothbrush is C Shaped to provide a comfortable grip during the brushing process.

AEV Bamboo Toothbrushes are made from Bambusa Tulda, also known as Indian Timber Bamboo, which is a native variety of bamboo found extensively in India and the subcontinent.

All AEV Bamboo Toothbrushes are Made in India from end to end. This means that whenever you buy an AEV Bamboo Toothbrush, you support the local community and small marginal farmers of North Eastern India. And we maintain a minimal carbon footprint as well as self-sufficiency in terms of bamboo usage.

We use bristles made from Nylon 4, which is biodegradable in a composting environment. One variant has Charcoal infused bristles that aid in better removal of stains and plaque from the teeth. That is what puts AEV miles ahead of its counterparts who use plastic unnatural bristles, and expect you to pluck them out before disposing off the toothbrush.

Again, at AEV, we provide an outer box of the Bamboo Toothbrush made out of Recycled paper. It may not look as sparkling bright as some of the others, but the planet surely gives us a broad and bright smile!

In some countries especially in Europe or the Americas, manufacturers offer toothbrushes with animal hair bristles (commonly made from the hair of pigs) to offer biodegradability. AEV Bamboo Toothbrushes are cruelty free and no animal products or by-products are used in AEV Toothbrushes.

AEV Bamboo Toothbrushes are available in 5 different varieties which are clearly visible from their shape & size.

We are a family of 4. How do we identify which one belongs to whom?

Studies have shown that the vast majority of people brush their teeth when they are still sleepy, and nothing except colours are easily identifiable at that moment. Each variant of AEV Water Bamboo Toothbrushes is available in 4 distinct colours to enable user to easily identify which toothbrush is their own and which isn’t.

AEV Bamboo Toothbrushes are quite easy to clean and easy to store after use. Just shake your bamboo toothbrush dry after use and remember to store it in a dry place. Make your AEV Toothbrush last even longer by giving it some sunlight once every week or two.
