You probably know about the importance of dental hygiene. To keep your gums healthy & maintain your oral health you have to brush daily and floss too. But do you know about the dental plastic waste we do every time we throw our toothbrush,floss, or toothpaste tubes!!
We all have the power to reduce our plastic footprint with an eco-friendly one so that we can preserve our next generation.
According to the reports in 2019 over 6.1 million tonnes of plastic waste leaked into aquatic environments and 1.7 million tonnes flowed into the oceans. As a result, there is now an estimated 30 million tonnes of plastic waste in seas and oceans.
As a responsible consumer we have to make sure we’re doing our part to protect our planet from this overwhelming scale of plastic pollution. Let’s begin with a new approach by adapting zero waste oral care.
When it comes to the environment and other kinds of non-degradable waste we face problems with no definite answers. It can be fixed by working together a little and not just individually working alone. We can begin with not contributing to landfill and pollution. As a consumer our biggest impact would be to make different choices when we shop, opting for more sustainable products and indicating to brands to buy more eco-friendly products.
Let’s begin with sustainable dentistry or oral care products which blend with eco-friendly implementations, and zero-waste products.
