Suri, a modern toothbrush company based in London, recently released a very innovative design with eco-conscious sensibilities—a sustainable electric toothbrush. The innovation came about after Mark Rushmore and Gyve Safavi, the founders of Suri, found out that " nearly every plastic toothbrush ever owned still exists in the world."
Suri's innovative and eco-conscious teeth-cleaning product is named the Sustainable Sonic Toothbrush. The modular design consists of an aluminum body that is highly durable and a brush head made with castor oil and corn starch. Because it is made with plant-based materials, the latter component can be easily recycled after the end of its life. Brush heads can be sent back to Suri in compostable paper bags that the company provides upon purchase.
The sustainable electric toothbrush comes in three muted colors.
