Biodegradable Bamboo Toothbrushes for Zoos
by mdsassociatesConverting To Bamboo Toothbrushes Can Eliminate 50+ Million Tons Of Poly Waste Yearly
An animals oral health is very important to their overall well being. Virtually every animal with teeth have many of the same dental troubles that humans do. They can have gum disease and gingivitis, broken teeth, and painful cavities. Veterinary dentists will clean and repair teeth, in much the same way that they would for human patients but there's a drawback to oral hygiene.
Leading researchers claim over 1 BILLION plastic toothbrushes are being disposed of annually here in the United States. This equates to 50+ million pounds of additional poly waste added to our landfills ever year. Here's the worst fact ... toothbrushes take 400+ years to decompose – yikes! That means the very first toothbrush ever invented is somewhere out there!
