The Ugly Truth About Plastic Toothbrushes

We all use toothbrushes. But have you ever thought about where they go after you're done with them?

Spoiler alert: they don’t disappear.

🗑️ Billions of Plastic Toothbrushes = A Global Problem

Every year, over 3.5 billion toothbrushes are sold worldwide. Most of them are made from plastic — and because toothbrushes are considered “non-recyclable” due to their mixed materials (nylon bristles + plastic handle), they almost always end up in:

• Landfills

• Oceans

• Or even in the stomachs of marine animals

It’s estimated that a single plastic toothbrush can take over 400 years to decompose. That means every plastic toothbrush you’ve ever used in your life is probably still sitting somewhere on this planet.

🐢 A Small Object With a Big Impact

It might seem small — but imagine billions of them.
Every. Single. Year.

That tiny bit of plastic in your bathroom is part of a much bigger issue: the global plastic crisis. And while switching to reusable bags and metal straws is great, there’s one easy change most people forget:
👉 Switch your toothbrush.
