The world's most environmentally friendly bamboo toothbrush?

Toothbrush MOSO Bamboo – FSC is made from the most environmentally friendly and FSC-certified bamboo available. MOSO bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. It reaches its final length of up to 20 meters within a couple of months at a rate of up to 1 meter a day during the growing season. It takes the trunk about 4–5 years to mature and acquire its hardwood-like characteristics in terms of hardness, strength and stability. Bamboo does not die after harvesting as trees do, so no deforestation occurs. Harvesting the mature plants actually increases the quality of the MOSO bamboo.

Carbon dioxide neutral MOSO bamboo

Through photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide which is converted into glucose and oxygen. The glucose forms the biomass from which the plant is built. The carbon dioxide is stored in the material during the product's lifetime and even longer if the product is recycled into new, sustainable products such as Toothbrush MOSO Bamboo – FSC. Due to the fast growth of MOSO Bamboo, it locks in significantly more carbon dioxide compared to ordinary types of wood.

FSC was created to prevent continuous depletion of forest lands. MOSO bamboo is the first bamboo to be FSC certified. By choosing an environmentally friendly bamboo toothbrush, you choose bamboo from responsible forestry, i.e. forestry that takes both people and the environment into account.
