Let's Pick PLA
FREE Cellulose Cloth
Every kitchen and bathroom needs a cellulose cloth. These amazing cloths are thicker and stronger than paper towels, can absorb 15x's their weight, and can be reused for months until they're ready for their retirement years in the compost bin.
One cellulose cloth can replace 15 rolls of paper towel - that's right! I said ROLLS, not sheets! So you'll also be saving some cash-o-la as well as lessening your impact on the environment.
Cellulose clothes can be washed up to 200 times (!) with your laundry or in the top rack of your dishwasher (or hand washed if you're into that sort of thing) and then hung to dry. They dry firm, but soften up with water.
Our cellulose cloths are 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, which makes them 100% biodegradable, and 100% awesome.
How are Floss Picks Eco Friendly?
How are Floss Picks Eco Friendly?
Dental Floss Picks are growing in popularity because of their ease of use, particularly for caregivers who help others with flossing. Unfortunately, like with most things, the convenience comes at a price, which is a ton of single-use plastic.
These dental floss picks are made with plant based PLA (Polylactic Acid), derived from Corn, Cassava and Beets, so they're not contributing to the manufacturing of virgin plastics.
Please note - not all communities can compost PLA yet, so if yours doesn't these need to be disposed of in the trash. That said, since these are made from plants, not plastic, they're still a lower carbon footprint and therefore a cleaner alternative.
