Why are we thinking about this kind of toothpastes?
Usually what we don’t notice is that our bathroom is the major source of plastic pollution. Shampoo bottles, Soap cases, Toothpaste and brushes everything you see are plastic made. These contributes water pollution, way to water bodies and further to fishes we eat.
Traditional toothpaste tubes (made of plastic) not only polluting the environment but also our human body. We engulf these plastics (as microplastics) through the paste.
Just simply by replacing the tube, we can avoid these microplastics.
Why should you fear?
Those plastics not only dangerous for our health but also for the environment.
Every year, we throw 300 million plastic made toothpaste tubes globally, as waste.[1] These waste end up in the landfill or water bodies. Now Imagine! Toothpaste tube alone contributing this large amount of pollution.
This is why you should switch to zero waste toothpaste. The faster you do, the better for you and our planet.
