Did you know that toothpaste tubes take 500 years or more to break down and they are unable to be recycled?
A whopping 900 million toothpaste tubes are discarded annually and end up in either landfills or in the ocean.
Change Toothpaste was founded by Canadian entrepeneurs Mike Medicoff and Damien Vince to address this issue.
They have completely changed the toothpaste game.
Change has succesfully eliminated toothpaste tubes with their unique toothpaste tablets.
Their fluoride-free tablets contain no gluten, dairy, nuts, or soy and they have no harsh chemicals. It’s vegan toothpaste!
The tablets are packaged in compostable paper bags and are shipped in mailing packages made from 100% recycled newspaper.
They do not use any plastic, ever.
Good for the environment. Good for your teeth!
What Is In Change Toothpaste?
Here’s a complete rundown on the ingredients used in Change Toothpaste.
- Xylitol: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol found in plants. Change uses Xylitol extracted from birch wood.
