Every year, over 1.5 billion plastic toothpaste tubes end up in landfills and oceans around the world. A tiny fraction is sorted as plastic and never refilled or reused. Yet they are not considered single-use plastic. Swap your toothpaste tube for a glass jar that is refillable, reusable and recyclable. Swap your traditional toothpaste for a more sustainable alternative, Gumpearl.
Gumpearl are toothpaste tablets packaged in glass jars of 62 or 248 tablets each, sealed with aluminum lids. When the tablets run out, you can easily refill with new ones, use the glass jar for other purposes or sort it in the trash can for clear glass and thus recycle the jar. In addition, Gumpearl toothpaste tablets are manufactured in Sweden.
We have made an active choice to eliminate plastic consumption in our products. Neither the jar you receive, nor our own deliveries involve any form of plastic packaging. This is important to us. In this way, we can also reduce the climate impact and the littering of nature and the ocean.
Plastic can of course be beneficial in other respects and fulfill important functions in other areas. For example, when it extends the lifespan of fresh vegetables and fruits.
But when it comes to oral health, and especially toothpaste tubes, it serves no purpose whatsoever. Toothpaste tablets are just as effective as traditional toothpaste. The biggest difference is a clear conscience about the green footprint we leave behind.
As part of our work for sustainable consumption, we collaborate and support the work that Håll Sverige Rent and One Earth, One Ocean stand for. By working with a shared commitment to nature and the environment, we help each other create change. Both of these organizations also place great importance on spreading knowledge and commitment to fellow humans. So that we can make a big difference with small changes!
Gumpearl is not just a stylish detail on the bathroom shelf and keeps your teeth healthy and strong as it contains fluoride. By brushing your teeth with our toothpaste tablets, you contribute to more sustainable consumption. Not only with a focus on plastic, but also to contribute to products free from, for example, palm oil, animal ingredients or surfactants.
Our commitment to sustainability runs through everything we do. Despite this, we don't compromise on your dental health or your user experience. When you brush your teeth with Gumpearl products, you should feel like you're doing both yourself and the environment a favor.
