I am sure everyone here has already heard about the impact of plastic toothbrushes but we thought some additional facts couldn't hurt!
- Every year we throw away 1 billion toothbrushes in the US alone- Roughly 50 million pounds of toothbrushes make it to landfills every year in the US
- Don't forget the 1 billion toothbrushes also come packed in plastic packaging adding roughly 15 million pounds of plastic to our landfills
- Thick plastic similar to toothbrush handles can take 1000 years to decompose. ( 500 years to turn to micro plastic and another 500 to completely decompose)
