A week or so ago I published a review of the Source Recycled Toothbrush. The Source was a very stylish brush with a “wood” handle made of recycled paper fibers. I liked it well enough. It looks good in my bathroom, but when i went to pack for DC I found that there really wasn’t a case out there that it would fit into… I think they may make a case, but the thing was already $7… I’m not buying a custom case for my uber cool wood toothbrush.
So I set out to find another recycled toothbrush and settled on the wonderful Preserve Toothbrush made by Recycline. I bought this at Kroger for under $3, it is made of recycled plastic and the container doubles as a carry case. Exactly what I wanted for a gym bag / travel toothbrush.
I used this over the weekend, it has an elegent design, good ergonomics, and works very well. When you’re done with it you can send it back to recycline via an envelope you get at stores or from their website. From there it is continually reused cradle to cradle on into infinity… Stuff like this makes my little green gear heart go pitter patter.
They come in all sorts of colors, i’m waiting for a camo one.
Here is the video review.
RATING: 4 out of 5 Gears for being made of recycled content / reusing old material / closing the industrial loop, value, design and quality, and being ready for primetime.
