All of that plastic will take at least 1,000 years to break down, during which time it leaks contaminants into the surrounding earth. Every plastic toothbrush you had as a kid is still out there somewhere today. Switching to bamboo toothbrushes is an easy way to contribute less plastic to the global plastic problem. But Why Bamboo? Bamboo as a material is strong, hard, and durable. It’s one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet and highly renewable. Bamboo is also naturally antimicrobial and resists water making it a fantastic material for a toothbrush.   How to Use a Bamboo Toothbrush with Charcoal Bristles Simply use your bamboo toothbrush as you would any other toothbrush! No need to dry the handle after use, just rinse your toothbrush and put it back into its holder bristle end up, just like you would a plastic toothbrush.   How long do bamboo toothbrushes last? It is recommended to change out your toothbrush (any toothbrush) every 3 months. After normal wear and tear your bristles start to get worn out creating a less effective toothbrush.
