Eco-friendly Teeth Whitening Products: An Ode To Conscious Consumerism

According to American Dental Association, the discarded number of manual toothbrushes in the United States is close to 1 billion per year. Think about other products used in the dental hygiene routine, including electric toothbrushes, dental floss, mouthwash, toothpaste, and other teeth whitening products.

Many consumers now demand eco-friendly teeth whitening products to ensure a more sustainable living. Thankfully, many manufacturers are taking note of the environmental impact of their teeth whitening products and offering eco-friendly choices to consumers.

Bamboo Toothbrushes

The shape and size of the plastic toothbrushes act as a deterrent in the recycling process, so they often end up in landfills. The good news is that manufacturers have started introducing bamboo alternatives for regular plastic toothbrushes. They are as effective as regular toothbrushes in keeping the teeth clean. When buying custom branded bamboo toothbrushes for your brand, choose softer bristles to give your customers a comfortable dental cleaning experience.

For eco-conscious consumers looking for ways to cut down their carbon footprints, bamboo toothbrushes are a great choice because they are easily compostable. And even before composting the handle, you can upcycle the toothbrush for cleaning and scrubbing shoes, vents, keyboards, and many other household items.

Bamboo Toothbrush Holder

Most plastic toothbrushes come in blister packs that are not recyclable or reusable. In addition to the non-recyclable toothbrush, the plastic packaging also added to waste.

Now, we have customized bamboo holders that can double up as the primary packaging material and a toothbrush holder to keep the bacteria away from the toothbrush. So, it means one does not have to buy a separate toothbrush holder for the bathroom or for travel, thus leading to monetary savings and reduced environmental impact. 

Dental Floss (Silk or Bamboo Charcoal)

Traditional dental floss is not eco-friendly. Due to its small size, it often escapes the recycling process and ends up in oceans. It takes years to decompose. And, if animals or birds eat floss, it may get entangled in their stomachs and cause irreparable harm.

Often eco-conscious consumers worry about the impact of their actions on the environment. And there is a gap between their demands and the availability of eco-friendly dental floss options in the market. If your brand has an eye on the environmental impact of dental floss, choosing biodegradable silk material for the floss can be a great business decision. You can also introduce bamboo charcoal floss solutions for the vegan market.

Choose glass containers or bamboo packaging to ensure that you deliver extremely low-waste or zero-waste dental solutions. You can even discuss refillable spools with the manufacturer and provide refill options to your customers.

Toothpaste Tablets

Although a few manufacturers create recyclable toothpaste tubes, most options available on the market are not eco-friendly. A report states that 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes are left out of the recycling process. These non-recyclable tubes continue to be used because they are the safest, most cost-effective way to maintain toothpaste freshness and quality. 

The solution to the problem of ecologically harmful tubes is toothpaste tablets. Eco-friendly and TSA-approved, the toothpaste tablets also save water because you do not need excess water to foam the tablet. 

When selecting toothpaste tablets, discuss packaging options to make them as much zero-waste as possible.

Activated Charcoal Teeth Whitening Powder

A few years ago, activated charcoal became a beauty trend. Its popularity has grown so much that activated charcoal teeth whitening powder has become a popular method to remove teeth stains naturally. Charcoal teeth whitening powder is an excellent addition to a brand looking to widen its portfolio. 

A growing number of consumers are becoming aware of the ill effects of plastic on the planet. So, it is wise to offer sustainable teeth whitening products that cater to the needs of environmentally-friendly consumers. With customers prioritizing products based in the USA, choose a US-based manufacturer to increase your edge over the competition.

With a bigger market for custom branded bamboo toothbrushes and toothpaste tablets, grab the golden opportunity of selling eco-friendly teeth whitening kit under your brand name.
