THE UNSEEN THREAT OF MICROPLASTIC
THE UNSEEN THREAT OF MICROPLASTIC
Dear our Customer and Friends,
Every day, countless tiny particles called microplastics find their way into our oceans, soil, food, and even the air we breathe. These particles, often smaller than 5 millimeters, originate from degraded plastic waste, synthetic clothing fibers, and everyday products like toothbrushes and floss dispensers.
The impact of plastic waste from oral care products is staggering:
Toothbrushes: Approximately 1 billion plastic toothbrushes are discarded annually in the U.S. alone, contributing to about 50 million pounds of plastic waste. These toothbrushes can take up to 500 years to decompose.
Floss Dispensers: Most dental floss comes in single-use plastic dispensers, many of which end up in landfills or oceans. Over 3 million miles of floss are used annually, much of it packaged in non-biodegradable materials.
Plastic Toothpicks: Billions of plastic toothpicks are produced and discarded every year. A significant portion finds its way into the environment, breaking down into microplastics that persist for centuries.
At Ecomoxo, we believe it’s time to make a change. All our products are eco-friendly, either biodegradable or reusable, designed with the planet in mind.
