Are you aware that you can recycle your old dental and oral care products at Wasteless Pantry? Even if you haven’t made the switch to eco-friendlier alternatives like bamboo toothbrushes or refillable tooth powders, you can still reduce your environmental impact by participating in our oral care recycling program.
What Can You Recycle?
- Toothpaste tubes and caps
- Manual toothbrushes
- Electric toothbrush heads
- Toothpaste tube plastic packaging
- Floss containers
Items Not Accepted:
- Cardboard packaging (recycle these in your kerbside recycling bin)
- Electronic toothbrush handles and bases (these are not recyclable through this program)
Recycling Process: Once collected, the oral care products are separated based on their composition. They are then shredded and melted down into plastic pellets, which Terracycle uses to create new recycled products. This process not only diverts waste from landfills but also contributes to the circular economy, turning old products into new.
Why Recycle at Wasteless Pantry? Recycling your oral care products at Wasteless Pantry helps reduce landfill waste and supports the recycling of materials that are not typically accepted in regular recycling programs. By participating, you contribute to a sustainable system that values resource recovery and the reuse of materials.
