Bambaw PLA Dental Floss
The package includes two vegan dental floss coils based on corn. You can reuse the dispenser for a long time and simply refill it with a new eco-friendly dental floss whenever needed.
Bambaw's Corn Based Floss Coils
This vegan dental floss is compostable in industrial compost. It is made from corn-based plastic (PLA). Bioplastic is as strong as traditional plastic, but it is made from renewable resources.
The 50 meters long, eco-friendly dental floss refills made of corn starch is coated with candelilla wax and it has a refreshing peppermint touch. 50 meters of floss is enough for 200 flosses.
Flossing: We all know we should do it more often. Dentists recommend doing it every day. Unfortunately, floss is mostly made of nylon and comes in disposable plastic packaging. So, basically, it is plastic wrapped in plastic. Being small and lightweight, floss thread is part of the plastic products that most easily enter the environment.
Natural Alternatives to Synthetic
Luckily some alternatives to plastic floss exist. The two main options are bio-based plastic and silk floss. The former biodegrades in an industrial compost, the latter biodegrades in your backyard compost.
A Reusable Floss Dispenser
To be really eco-friendly dental floss, the container should be reusable as well. A reusable floss dispenser can be refilled with floss coils. Reusable floss dispensers are usually made of glass or stainless steel.
What This Floss Dispenser is Made of (And Why It Matters)
Stainless-Steel: Floss dispensers are usually made of glass which eventually ends up broken on the floor. With this stainless-steel dispenser, you are good to go for life. On top of this, stainless steel is one of the world's most recycled materials. Indeed, 60% of the new stainless-steel production comes from recycled material.
PLA: The corn-based PLA is compostable in industrial compost. This means it is not made of petrol plastic and can easily degrade if matched with the right conditions.
Candelilla Wax: Vegetable wax is extracted by boiling the plant. It is a non-gelling thickener and film former with protecting properties, making it the perfect wax to lubricate the floss and enable it to slide through teeth easily.
