Testimonials

I swapped out plastic toothbrushes for a Virtue bamboo brush. The bristles are the perfect combination of soft and effective. Not only is the brush itself a more eco friendly choice, but the packaging too! It’s the perfect replacement for the mainstream plastic-centered toothbrushes. Bamboo tooth brushes for the win!

By choosing a compostable VirtueBrush I minimise my plastic footprint and maintain great dental health at the same time.

The VirtueBrush Bamboo Hairbrush is so gentle to brush with, I found the common plastic brushes super rough on my head but this one has a softer and gentler feel to it, it's so comfortable. Also to hold it, it's really light and the grip is really smooth. Plus it looks beautiful and it's Bamboo ; )

I try to choose products that are in line with what’s important to me: health, sustainability, quality and community. It’s rare to find a product that satisfies all of those goals at the same time, but VirtueBrush does.

VirtueBrush Bamboo Toothbrushes give my teeth the same clean feeling as plastic ones, and it is great to know they will biodegrade when I've finished with them.

VirtueBrush Bamboo Toothbrushes are fantastic, never going back to a plastic toothbrush again if I can help it!

Elizabeth Kavanagh

I have been purchasing VirtueBrush for over a year now, and I could never go back to plastic toothbrushes. I like them so much that I purchase them as gifts for friends and family, to help their transition to a plastic-free lifestyle.

We have too much plastic on our Planet and in our seas. I hope this toothbrush will be the norm in every household one day and plastic toothbrushes will be a thing of the past. Not only are you helping our environment but it is also a great product.

Louise Connolly

VirtueBrush Bamboo Toothbrushes feel great, work great, and allow my family to reduce our plastic consumption, which is really difficult to do. Discovering VirtueBrush truly has been one of the highlights of 2016 for me.

Bamboo Toothbrushes Best option for Planet Health say Researchers at Trinity College Dublin and Eastman Dental Institute

January 17, 2021

The bamboo toothbrush had the lowest impact in all categories. The climate change potential of the electric toothbrush was 11 times greater than the bamboo toothbrush.

The bamboo toothbrush used just 11 g of plastic over the five years, the lowest of all products (97% less plastic than the plastic manual toothbrush).

Fertilisers are used in less than 5% of industrial bamboo plantations as the fallen bamboo leaves provide sufficient nutrients for new shoots.

Bamboo cultivation is currently assumed to be carbon-neutral, as bamboo ecosystems are carbon sinks.

December 09, 2019

Did you know that plastic was initially invented as a way to save the environment?

We hear so much about plastic these days.

Single-use-plastic, microplastic, bioplastic, plastic bottles, plastic planet. It seems that plastic has taken over our oceans, our landfills, and our newsfeeds.

But what actually is it? Where did it come from? And why did we actually create it in the first place?

In this, the story of plastic, we take a journey all the way from plastic's initial creation to the plastic crisis we find ourselves in today. We then look forward, and offer potential solutions for a future without plastic.
