Bamboo toothbrushes holder

Since we want to extend items’ lives as long as possible, please be aware that if your toothbrush holder comes apart, you can fix it very easily. Just use contact adhesive, wood glue or hot-setting adhesive, and make sure that you put the pieces back in the right place. And that’s it!

Every year, more than 4.9 billion plastic toothbrushes, billions of straws and disposable plastic utensils end up in garbage dumps and various natural environments around the world. All this plastic takes about 500 years to decompose. Even when it does decompose, its chemical composition remains intact and the entire plastic substance remains in the environment for centuries longer. A lot of this plastic is found in the oceans where it is ingested by birds and fish. Approximately 90% of seabirds have ingested plastic. Bamboo is the main element used in the manufacture of the OLA Bamboo toothbrush. This 100% natural and 100% biodegradable material replaces plastic, a substance very commonly used for the manufacture of conventional toothbrushes. OLA Bamboo utensils are made of 100% birch and straws are made of 100% bamboo. Since bamboo is a plant and birch is a tree, they decompose naturally in the environment. In short, when you dispose of your OLA Bamboo toothbrush, utensils or straws, in whatever way you do so, you help eliminate unnecessary plastic in the environment by replacing it with bamboo or wood, which break down naturally.

Bamboo is the main material used in the manufacture of the OLA Bamboo toothbrush. This 100% natural and 100% compostable plant replaces plastic. Because bamboo is a tree, it decomposes naturally in the environment. By purchasing an OLA Bamboo toothbrush, you help eliminate unnecessary plastic in the environment.

There are two categories of compostable products: those that break down in a home compost system and those that decompose in an industrial compost system (e.g. a city compost). Products described as compostable will break down naturally as they are usually made of organic materials (e.g. plants).

The term biodegradable is not always well defined. It refers to any material that will decompose in nature after a certain number of years. However, there is no clear definition of the time frame needed for a product to decompose; moreover, a product can change shape but retain its chemical composition (e.g. biodegradable plastic bags).

OLA Bamboo toothbrushes, utensils and straws are designed in Canada, specifically in Victoriaville. The products are made in China. We decided to have our toothbrushes made in China because of the raw material, bamboo, is found in abundance there. Moreover, by offering products that are affordable and accessible to all, we make sure we can reach a majority of citizens, which really makes a difference for the planet. We ensure that our global partners comply with the requirements for product quality, working methods, and conditions for employees in terms of health and safety. Also, to reduce our ecological footprint, part of the sales of our products made in China is used to plant trees in Quebec, with CO2 Compensation.

OLA Bamboo organic cotton produce bags are also made in China because cotton doesn’t grow in Canada. Organic cotton from China is of high quality and allows us to offer our bags at an affordable price.

Yes! The OLA Bamboo brand is owned by the Canadian company OLA Bamboo Inc., based in Quebec. This new company currently employs three people and aims to increase this number soon. In addition to job creation, our company is involved in and supports various environmental initiatives. Part of the sales of each OLA Bamboo toothbrush is used to plant trees in Quebec with CO2 Compensation. So far, nearly 2000 trees have been planted thanks to you.

The correct way to store your toothbrush according to the American dental association is, rinse it with water so that all residue comes off, then shake it to remove excess water and then store it in an upright position in an open holder so that it can dry naturally. Make sure the toothbrushes in the holder are not touching each other.
