I decided to try out and compare two bamboo toothbrushes – Brush with Bamboo and Mother’s Vault. It turns out that they are pretty similar in terms of function. The overall design is very similar and I found them both comfortable to grip and the head shape and size made the brushing experience pretty good. Both heads are around 1 inch long, so young children may find them a little big, but both companies make a smaller toothbrush for kids. In terms of hardness, I found the bristles on both toothbrushes to be closer to medium rather than soft. Soft bristles are most recommended for your teeth and gums. Some reviewers had commented that the bristles are too soft – I don’t agree (perhaps they made them harder in response to these comments or people are just used to overly-hard bristles). No bristles came loose or went out of shape during the first few weeks of use, so they seem well-made.
Besides the regular rating, I’m going to give them a “green” star rating, based on social and environmental impact. Having looked into sustainability of toothbrushes (see blog post on greenstarsproject.org) I think bamboo toothbrushes are the best option (with the possible exception of chewing sticks, depending on how they are packaged), followed by Preserve recycled plastic toothbrushes, then Fuchs Ekotek toothbrushes with replaceable heads, and then in last place, over-engineered mainstream toothbrushes with thermoplastic handles. I will be avoiding the bestselling WowE bamboo toothbrushes because the company also sells shaving brushes made from badger hair and personally I don’t want to support that.
Brush with Bamboo toothbrushes (and packaging) has evolved over time to become more sustainable and they are now a Green America certified business. They are vegan (no animal materials) and not tested on animals. Pretty much all toothbrush bristles are made from nylon (except those made from hog hair) but the Brush with Bamboo nylon is a step better, being made mostly from renewable castor oil. Inside the cardboard box (which contains no glue), they are wrapped in a plant-based (PLA) wrapper that’s also compostable. The bamboo is harvested from the mountains of China, where it is grown without chemicals or irrigation and is rapidly renewed (as long as they continue to harvest it sustainably).
Mother’s Vault has less to say on their website about some things like bamboo sourcing. Their bristles are made from regular nylon (made from petrochemicals) so they are a little less sustainable than the Brush with Bamboo bristles, but on par with other bamboo toothbrushes. The packaging is kept to a bare minimum – just a cardboard box (no inner wrapper), so it’s slightly better than Brush with bamboo (which uses the bioplastic wrapper). Mother’s Vault do emphasize that a portion of sales is donated to Earth Justice. They didn’t say what proportion (it could be 0.00001%) so I wrote to them to ask. Here’s their response: “We are currently doing yearly donations of 15 percent of sales. On the (social) side we do have other projects in the pipeline for donating post production scrap soap to homeless shelters and participating in various local related events. In the near future we will integrate a tracker into our website for our customers to reference.”
Overall, each company its own strengths and I think that in terms of social and environmental impact they are both in the top 20% and both deserve 5/5 green stars.

Brosses à dents écologiques et de bonne qualité

1. Son manche est en bambou, matériaux naturel facile à produire et biodégradable. Cerise sur le gâteau, c'est un type de bambou qui n'est pas de ceux mangés par nos amis les pandas.
2. Son emballage est issue à 100% de papier recyclé et est lui aussi biodégradable.
3. Le sachet plastique contenant la brosse à dent est fabriqué à partir de maïs (et non de pétrole!) et peut, sous certaines conditions, avoir une 2nd vie comme compost.
4. Ses poils ne sont pas en nylon classique mais composés à 2/3 d'huile de graine de ricin et 1/3 de plastique. Ils ne sont pas biodégradables mais peuvent néanmoins être recyclés. Personnellement, je dirai que les poils sont entre medium et durs, je ne vous conseille donc pas ce modèle si vous préférez des poils très souples.
5. Transparence du fabriquant sur la fabrication et la source des produits utilisés (cherchez leur site brushwithbambou via google)
6. Enfin sa qualité est tout à fait satisfaisante. Après 2 semaines d'usage régulier, moi et ma compagne n'avons rencontré aucun défaut ou détérioration de la brosse à dent. D'après le fabricant, une brosse a une durée de vue d'environ 3 mois.
Malgré ses nombreuses qualités, il reste quelques points à améliorer à mon sens, d'où la 5ième étoile en moins:
1. Ses poils ne sont pas biodégradables et restent difficile à recycler (seul certains centres de recyclage sont en mesure de les recycler). Malheureusement à l'heure actuelle, il y a peu d'alternative aussi respectueuse de l'environnement, à part ceux à base de poils de cochon. Mais comparé à la très grande majorité des brosses en poils "pur nylon", cela reste un très bon compromis aujourd'hui.
2. Le sachet plastique, bien que fabriqué à partir de plantes, a pour origine du Maïs OGM. Néanmoins le fabriquant est conscient du problème et compte le remplacer à court terme par un sachet en cellulose, donc 100% biodégradable.
3. La fabrication est faite aux USA & Chine. Malheureusement je n'ai pas encore trouvé d'équivalent aussi intéressant fabriqué en France.
Vous l'aurez compris, pour ce prix, je ne peux que recommander ces brosses à dents aux personnes pour qui se brosser les dents est aussi un acte écologique! :)
Pour ceux souhaitant aller au bout de la démarche, je vous invite aussi à vous renseigner sur la fabrication de dentifrice maison (liquide ou en poudre), qui remplacera facilement les dentifrices industrielles de nos commerces. C'est économique, naturelle et ludique!
