Disposal & Decomposition
To ensure eco-friendly disposal, please follow these steps:
Municipal Compost: Our floss picks should be composted in an industrial composting facility, where they decompose faster under controlled conditions.
Decomposition Time
Floss Pick Handle:
Industrial Composting: Decomposes within 3 to 6 months.
Landfills: The decomposition rate is significantly slower in landfill environments, potentially taking several years due to anaerobic conditions.
Nylon-4 Thread:
Industrial Composting Facilities: Nylon-4 can degrade within 6 to 12 months under optimal conditions.
Landfills: Degradation in a landfill is slow, and it can take several years for the thread to break down significantly.
Note: The decomposition times can vary widely based on local environmental conditions and facility practices. We recommend using industrial composting for our floss picks to minimize environmental impact.
We designed these floss picks with kids in mind. From their fun giraffe shaped design, to the vibrant colors, to the longer handle and smaller head to fit their mouths, more fun means less fuss, and more flossing. And if all that weren’t enough, we make our floss picks from straw wheat, which means it’s naturally gluten-free and totally sustainable.
Let’s give kids a future to smile about
Our mission is to clean up oral care by eliminating as much plastic as possible and other materials that are harmful to our planet. But simply doing better isn’t enough, that’s why we’ve doubled down on our commitment to things in better shape than we found it.
A fluoride free clean
Too much fluoride at a young age can cause fluorosis, which shows up as white specks on your teeth. Kids are more susceptible to fluorosis than adults as they’re still developing. While fluoride isn’t a bad thing, our dentists partners advised us that we already get plenty of fluoride in our toothpaste, water, and mouthwash, so we make sure that our floss picks are totally fluoride free.

We don’t like to brag, so we’ll let our customers do it for us
We only use Nylon-4 for our toothbrush bristles and floss threads. Nylon-4 is a type of nylon made of biodegradable polymers. We use Nylon-4 because it's strong and durable, making it great for cleaning teeth.
Nylon-4 must be industrially composted to ensure it fully biodegrades. It takes about 6-12 months to degrade in an industrial setting. If disposed of in a landfill, it'll take several years for the thread to degrade.
Is Your Packaging Eco-Friendly?
The bags and the boxes are made from FSC-certified kraft paper and are fully compostable.
Are The Floss Picks Gluten-Free
Straw wheat comes from a non-gluten containing part of the plant. We only use the straw after the wheat has been harvested, which contains no gluten! Gluten is only found in the seeds, not the stalks, and the straw comes from the stalks.
We've tested rigorously to ensure our floss picks are gluten-free and safe for use.
Do You Use PFA's?
No PFAs or any toxins are used. Instead, we use PLA for manufacturing.
PLA is made from renewable sources (sugar cane and corn starch). As a bioplastic, we hope it's the future of all plastic-based products.
