Do you floss regularly? Or do you only do it prior to a dental appointment? Using more eco-friendly toiletries is an important element in the effort to green our everyday lives. One of those products is natural dental floss.
Most dental floss is made of nylon – a kind of plastic. This is wound around a plastic dispenser, which is itself is then enveloped in mainly plastic packaging. Talk about overkill!
Here are three examples of an ever-increasing range of eco-friendly dental floss:
- Humble corn starch floss picks with charcoal: £5.00, Boots
Made primarily from corn-starch and packaged in eco-friendly paper packaging, Humble floss picks aim to minimise the stress on our environment whilst providing a first class experience.
