I’ve switched to a plant-based electric toothbrush and will never look back

The Suri electric toothbrush comes in five colourways: green, navy, white, black and peach - (The Independent/Steve Hogarty)

The Suri electric toothbrush is designed with sustainability in mind. The brand says that more than four billion toothbrushes end up in landfills and oceans every year, so it set out to design an electric toothbrush that’s easy to recycle and repair, and uses plant-based materials rather than plastic for its disposable brush heads.

Every box of replacement heads comes with a compostable freepost envelope for your used heads, allowing you to post them back to Suri. With cornstarch heads and castor oil bristles, the brush heads are plant-based. Once safely back at Suri’s factory, they’re destined for a second life as useful recycled material for household appliances and furniture.
