biodegradable brush heads engineered by dentists: a Double Layered model for efficient plaque removal and an Ultra Soft model for sensitive gums – ©Sophia Hyun 2. 2°C by Andrea Mangone Milan-based product designer Andrea Mangone designed 2°C, a premium eco-friendly toothbrush design made to last a lifetime.
It reduces the overall plastic waste by 87% thanks to a high-quality reusable body that accommodates disposable brush heads after extended use.
When not in use the toothbrush snaps magnetically to a sleek and compact base, which discreetly tracks brushing time and frequency.
It also monitors the age and quality of the brush head before sending relevant info via a mobile app.
The battle with single-use plastic is on: Floe’s reusable tampon applicator helps to achieve a zero-waste period routine.

Everloop by NOS The eco-friendly Everloop toothbrush by Mexico-based design firm NOS features a recycled plastic handle, bamboo bristles and packaging made from thermoformed paper pulp.
Each toothbrush comes with eight sets of bristles that are based on the three-month lifespan of a normal toothbrush, giving Everloop a lifespan of a minimum of two years.
The head of the toothbrush has a clipping mechanism, which lets the user open and close it in order to replace new sets of bristles.

Sea Differently by François Hurtaud Hong Kong-based industrial designer Francois Hurtaud designed the Sea Differently toothbrush with a handle made entirely from recycled ocean plastic and a brush head that uses biodegradable materials.
He opted for a 3D-printed production process as a way of limiting material impact even further.
The toothbrush forms part of a subscription-based service model, which auto-refills the brush heads conveniently on a 12-week basis whilst enabling customers to return the used brush heads for recycling.
