Vegan floss made from corn fiber 50m

Dental floss was and still is my personal Zerowaste boss. Either it is made of soap and therefore not vegan. Or in the glass, which can easily break, or in paper packaging that keeps kinking. So it took me forever, really forever, a whole three years to find a sensible, as sustainable as possible variant. And since this year (2021) it is finally here, the Wastelesshero dental floss Properties of the floss - Length: 50 m - Packaging: bamboo can - Material: corn base - Fully compostable - vegan - petroleum free -BPA-free This floss definitely is. Dental floss made from corn fiber and based on other renewable raw materials is bio-plastic, even if it doesn't sound like it or is not listed. So-called PLA (polylactide). It's actually biodegradable, but not on your own home compost. But in industrial composting plants, because for it to be broken down, certain conditions must exist, such as the right temperature. Tested & natural materials The floss test is still in progress. It always takes a few weeks. In the laboratory, it is checked again whether the toothbrush is really of 100% organic origin and does not contain any petroleum. Is Compostable Floss Sustainable? Definitely more sustainable than the petroleum-based dental floss. Because it is made from renewable raw materials. I also consciously refrain from wrapping the dental floss on a plastic roll. This also saves rubbish again. The packaging is also deliberately made of bamboo, which is also more expensive than glass. Doesn't break as quickly as glass. In theory, there is no need to buy a can, as smaller spools fit into the bamboo can for refilling. So it is really a good vegan and ecological alternative. Who made the floss? A brush manufacturer from China takes on the production of the dental floss. I have been working with a manufacturer from Asia since 2019. Who I can rely on very well, who advises me and with whom I actually write almost every week. I made sure that the manufactory is BSCI certified, which means good working conditions.
