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.
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.
