Are you like "ew, this toothbrush that I'm using is never going to break down?" Try a bamboo toothbrush!
Brush with Bamboo makes bamboo handled tooth brushes with 100% bio-based bristles, they're 100% castor oil derived! (Probably still better for the health of your compost to remove the bristles before tossing the handle in your compost pile)
These bristles are soft, and will last just as long as a conventional plastic tooth brush. Try them out with David's Toothpaste for a shining smile!
Materials: bamboo handle, castor oil based bristles (please check with your local composting facility before sending the bristles to them)

ABOUT RAY'S REUSABLES:
Ray's Reusables started at the end of 2019 as a passion project. I had long looked for a way to repurpose the (growing) pile of worn out jeans that I had into something beautiful, useful, and that would mesh well with the low waste lifestyle that I was trying to cultivate. Thus the back pocket cutlery roll was born.
I still sew and I love what I create, but as I watched the pandemic unfold and saw the waste that was being created as a result I realized I wanted to do even more to support the sustainable community of Philadelphia. Thats why I decided to fast track some long term goals of mine, and open up Philadelphia's first mobile refill shop.
Making plastic-free options accessible and affordable to people regardless of where they live in the city has always my mission. With 70% of people in the city relying on public transportation, I knew the best way to provide more equal access would be to take an eco-store to them! With the flexibility and mobility of the van I'm able to go into different neighborhoods around the city, making sustainable shopping easier for eco-conscious Philadelphians.
