The new year is here, and it’s time to think new – not just for ourselves, but also for our environment. One such change is closer than you think – namely in your dental care routine. Say goodbye to bad plastic toothpaste tubes and hello to fresh changes! Let’s explore the switch from plastic tubes to Gumpearl toothpaste tablets, packaged in reusable glass jars, and how this simple change can impact both your oral health and the environment.
Toothpaste tablets are better for the environment
Toothpaste tablets have several advantages over traditional toothpaste, here are some:
-
Plastic tubes are a major environmental culprit and take several hundred years to break down.
-
Glass jars, on the other hand, are recyclable and can be used over and over again.
In addition to the environmental benefits, toothpaste tablets also have other advantages:
-
They are just as effective but do not contain water. Water is in short supply in the world and why transport unnecessary water when you can use toothpaste tablets as a dry product.
-
They contain no unnecessary ingredients, such as palm oil, parabens & titanium oxide, which is better for health and the environment.
Eco-friendly toothpaste tablet for a sustainable future
Plastic has long been a main ingredient in our toothpaste packaging, contributing to the growing environmental problem. Gumpearl’s switch to glass jars is a step in the right direction to reduce plastic use. But it’s not just about the packaging – it’s also about the contents.
Research into microplastics and preservatives
Research points to a problem that may not always be visible to the naked eye. It has been shown that regular toothpaste can contain small microplastics and preservatives, which is not good for the environment and probably not for our health either. There is worrying evidence that these small plastic particles can end up in the bloodstream. Since 2018, it has been prohibited to sell toothpaste with microplastics in Sweden. Gumpearl toothpaste tablets are the smart and green alternative for plastic-free brushing because they do not contain harmful substances. Good for both our health and the environment.
Challenge the norm – pharmacies and grocery stores, join in!
We've all gotten used to the traditional plastic tubes, but 2024 is the year when it's time to challenge the norm. Throw away the plastic tubes, it's 2023. Time to do something good for the environment and at the same time challenge pharmacies and grocery stores. We want more smart alternatives on the shelves and be part of starting the green trend. We, as consumers, have a big impact. When we choose environmentally friendly toothpaste tablets, we send a clear signal to pharmacies and grocery stores to prioritize sustainability and make it easier for all of us to choose the more environmentally friendly option.
A crystal clear improvement
The switch from plastic tubes to glass jars is not only aesthetically pleasing but also beneficial for the environment. Glass is recyclable and reduces the risk of chemicals leaking from the plastic into the toothpaste. Can you believe that such a small change in packaging can make such a big difference for our planet?
