Electric toothbrushes have become increasingly popular in recent years. Dentists usually advise their patients to switch to an electric toothbrush, which results in a remarkable two out of three people brushing their teeth electrically. However, traditionally all brush heads are made entirely of plastic, contributing to the plastic and climate disaster. That's why we now offer an environmentally friendly solution: bamboo brush heads.
Join our mission to reduce plastic waste. Make a difference today and promote sustainability by providing these bamboo brush heads to your customers.

Philips Sonicare Bamboo Toothbrush Heads
Do you use an electric toothbrush? Then you've probably thought that more sustainable oral care is simply out of the question because electric brushing is best for your teeth. Thankfully, there's good news. While you've been recovering from that, technology has evolved. This development allows us to introduce you to the Philips Sonicare Bamboo toothbrush heads. The sustainable solution to the pollution caused by plastic brush heads.
The best Philips Sonicare toothbrush head is made of bamboo
Let's start with the most important question: What makes these toothbrush heads such a fantastic alternative? The first argument is for the environmentally conscious manual brushers among us. Think of what your dentist used to say: "I would strongly recommend brushing your teeth electrically from now on," or something similar. Have you previously rejected the electric toothbrush for environmental reasons? Hats off: 😉 But enough is enough. Time to give your teeth the care they deserve. After all, they have a life ahead of them.
And for those who brush with electric brushes, the sustainable alternative to the harmful standard is finally at hand. Because even though an electric toothbrush lasts a long time, you still have to replace the heads quite often. What once seemed unavoidable has now become avoidable: unnecessary plastic waste. With bamboo brush heads, you can reduce plastic waste by up to 88% compared to standard Philips Sonicare toothbrush heads. So increase your carbon footprint today.

Make the most of your bamboo brush heads
Using bamboo brush heads is super easy. Push the connector onto the pin of your electric toothbrush until you hear a click. Make sure it's properly seated and you're ready to enjoy weeks of comfortable and sustainable oral care. We recommend replacing the brush head every three months, as this is the time when the bristles are optimally cleaned.
Sustainable and animal-friendly bamboo
Like many of our products, this beautiful comb is made of bamboo. Bamboo is a very sustainable material for a number of reasons. First of all, it is the fastest growing plant in the world. The type of Moso bamboo we use grows up to one meter per day under optimal conditions.
The origin and cycle of a bamboo plant are also very sustainable. Bamboo does not grow from seeds, but from an extensive root system. Using bamboo that is at least five years old keeps the root system healthy and intact, and new branches are constantly growing.
Most importantly, we are not a threat to pandas. Their diet consists of more than 90% bamboo. Fortunately, they prefer to eat the leaves that grow close to the ground, so they do not choose Moso bamboo. The leaves of this species grow too high.
Part of a greener world
Since our collaboration with the International Association of Human Values and Eden Reforestation Projects (ERP), we plant a tree for every purchase. We do this together with ERP, a global expert in tree planting. They operate in 8 countries on three different continents and already have almost 500 million trees on the counter.

With this bamboo comb you are contributing directly to the restoration and conservation of forests. We are very grateful for this because together we can make a difference.
AN ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Our products are created in harmony with nature . But even environmentally friendly alternatives leave a carbon footprint. That's why we minimize their impact by planting a tree for every order.
Our goal? To offer a complete climate-neutral product range.
Tree planting project
Go plastic free. Plant a tree.
65,000+ trees planted
Unprecedented times
Planet Earth is going through a very difficult time right now. We produce more than 380 million tons of plastic every year, which is roughly the weight of the entire human population. Meanwhile, we have also cut down 10 million hectares of forest in the same period - an area ten times the size of the Netherlands or almost the size of England.
The truth is that we are currently consuming the Earth's resources at an unprecedented rate. Our consumption patterns have become increasingly unsustainable over the past few decades, which is why our choices are more important now than ever.
That's why we're proud that offering natural and plastic-free products is the foundation of The Bamboovement. It's our way of trying to make the world a little bit better.
Sustainable initiatives
However, there is always an additional step you can take. In our case, for example, collaborating with like-minded organizations. Because we also believe that working together on ambitious initiatives can lead to fruitful contributions. That is why we are very pleased that we recently joined forces with the International Association of Human Values (IAHV) and Eden Reforestation Projects (ERP) together.
We met Shailen Mittal, a member of the IAHV UK Executive Board, at an event in London. From the beginning, the shared ambition to restore the world to health was evident. He is the project leader of Climate Action Now (CAN), an IAHV initiative, to raise funds to plant as many trees as possible.
Reforestation
Shailen's open-mindedness, passion and network paved the way for our new partnership. Through IAHV we came into contact with ERP, a global expert in tree planting with hundreds of millions of trees under their belt. They work in eight different countries and manage over two hundred local projects. A detailed overview of the complete portfolio can be found on this website. Their work has inspired us to focus on planting trees as well. We grow one for every order in our webshop, every freebie sold and every newsletter subscription. In this video, founder Dr. Stephen Fitch explains their daily work to achieve their mission.
Why Eden Reforestation Projects?
There are more and more NGOs working hard to combat deforestation. Why did we choose to partner with IAHV and ERP?
To answer this question, we look at the impacts of deforestation: severe flooding, erosion and desertification. Local ecosystems and communities are particularly affected by these consequences. Native biodiversity is declining sharply and local populations are being pushed into extreme poverty because the land that feeds them no longer exists. That's why we believe that the key to successful tree planting projects is to actively involve local communities.
Busy-at-work
ERP's "Employ-to-Plant vision" is a beautiful initiative that recognizes the interest of these local communities. By hiring villagers to grow saplings and plant trees, they provide them with a steady income. As the reforestation project continues, healthy forests are re-emerging. In the meantime, the negative effects of deforestation are starting to fade.
The core values of the Employ-to-Plant method are:
- Working with villages to restore their forests;
- Education of locals in exchange for a fixed income;
- Collecting native seeds from remaining forests;
- Achieving a survival rate of at least 80%.
A growing movement
You might feel discouraged when you read the facts in the first paragraph. Or when you watch the news and see terrifying images and videos of bushfires flaring in every corner of the world. However, an incredible growing movement is working hard to preserve Earth's rich biodiversity.
Countries from all over the world are recognizing the benefits of protecting forests and their ecosystems. Ethiopia is a good example. In 2019, they launched a record by planting 350 million trees in one day. Their new goal? Five billion trees to preserve their national forests. Additionally, new policies are being introduced around the world to combat plastic pollution. African countries are pioneers in the ban on plastic items. Finally, the western countries in their footsteps by introducing stricter policies.
Our goal
We are aware that the production and shipping of products leads to CO2 emissions. That is why we have set ourselves the goal of calculating the ecological footprint of our products. This way we know what to do to fully offset the emissions of our range.
By planting trees, we can offer CO2-neutral and ultimately CO2-negative products. CO2-negative is climate-positive. With these types of products, more CO2 is stored than the production process requires. In 2022, we want to contribute to the restoration of valuable forests by planting at least 100,000 trees.
