Adult Ultra Soft Toothbrush, Orange

Preserve consulted closely with dental professionals to create a toothbrush that gets your teeth cleaner but minimizes your impact on the environment. The design includes a curved handle for those hard-to-reach places and a three-level bristle arrangement to massage your gums. And while the bristles are brand new, the handle is made from recycled yogurt cups. The toothbrush is completely recyclable through Preserve's mail-in recycling program.

<h2>The History of Preserve</h2>

<p>Founder Eric Hudson grew up in Western Massachusetts and always loved spending time in nature. After beginning a career in finance and consulting, Hudson decided to shift gears and bring his corporate experience to the environmental sector. In his recycling research, he noticed more people were recycling than ever before, but not enough manufacturers were giving these materials new life. Preserve started its product line in 1996 by turning yogurt cups into toothbrushes. Since then, the brand has continued to innovate by <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/social/pcw-recycled"target"_blank">creating sustainable products</a> made from 100 percent recycled plastic. (Another example: Preserve also creates tableware out of take-out containers.)</p>

<h2>Preserve Company Mission</h2>

<p>Preserve has dedicated itself to lowering society’s environmental impact. By offering products for in and out of the home, it’s a go-to lifestyle brand that makes it easy to help make a difference. A toothbrush started it all, but Preserve has branched out into plant-based compostables and offers items like shaving razors, food storage, lunch bags, plates, and cutlery. </p>

<h2>Benefits of Preserve</h2>

<p>In addition to the Preserve Ocean Plastic Initiative (POPi), the company helps consumers divert plastic from landfills through its takeback program called Gimme 5, which collects #5 plastic at both in-person locations and through the mail, which it transforms into new Preserve products. You can also <a href="https://www.preserve.eco/pages/toothbrush-takeback"target="_blank">send back your used toothbrushes</a>! As a Certified B Corporation, Preserve scored in the top 10 percent of more than 1,200 companies, which means this brand has been recognized for making a positive environmental impact and setting an industry standard. </p>
