Wahi Hawaii is a Mom & Pop shop based on the island of Maui. Where they craft sustainable bamboo toothbrushes to reduce waste and help fund sustainable initiatives.
The bristles are medium-soft, as that is exact strength dentists recommend. No need to worry about durability either, as these last just as long as a normal toothbrush, no need to worry about durability.
This toothbrush is made of sustainable moso bamboo. A highly renewable resource that can grow 3 feet a day, produce 35% more oxygen than trees, reach maturity in as little as three years, and grows in environments that don't require pesticides.
About Wahi Hawaii
Wahi Hawaii is a family business based out of Maui, Hawaii. They donate a portion of their revenue to nonprofit environmental conservation organizations around the globe. Along with their products.
The founders, Jason and Miyo work with farmers and landowners across the globe to decide where the best and most sustainable areas to harvest bamboo are. They currently source bamboo from Indonesia, Vietnam, India and China.
Consider the lasting impact of a seemingly innocuous item from your childhood: the plastic toothbrush you used when you were just four years old. When plastic toothbrushes create over 50 million pounds of waste annually in the US alone, bamboo is a great alternative.
Bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, presents itself as an eco-friendly substitute for traditional plastic toothbrushes. Unlike plastic, which relies heavily on fossil fuels for its production, approximately 8-10% of the world's oil supply is directed toward creating a variety of plastic products, including toothbrushes.
In the United States alone, over 1 billion plastic toothbrushes are disposed of each year. This statistic not only reflects the sheer volume of waste generated by our consumer habits but also underscores the need for a mindset shift in our approach to consumption and disposal. Opting for bamboo toothbrushes means we are taking a proactive step toward reducing this unnecessary burden on our environment.
Made in the USA.
Does what a toothbrush does! Glad I can make this small switch, makes me feel better about not using so much plastic when I don't need to! Bristle strength and length are good too. I've been using it for 3 months and it's holding up just fine.
