Toothpaste Tablets and How to Use Them
Toothpaste tubes have been around since 1898, and have been an environmental nightmare ever since.
Most toothpaste tubes are difficult to recycle due to the varying types of plastics used in the tube - making toothpaste tablets a brilliant plastic-free alternative.
Toothpaste tablets are an easy-to-use alternative to tube toothpaste.
Completely zero-waste and plastic-free, these tablets are easier to use than you may think.
Over a billion toothpaste tubes end up in landfill each year, you can reduce your waste by using toothpaste tablets.
These tablets are mess-free and can be used by children too.
We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly. – Anne Marie Bonneau aka The Zero Waste Chef
