A toothbrush that offers convenience to users and provides a more sustainable environment to the Earth. It utilizes biodegradable material PHACT(PHA_Polyhydroxyalkanoate), so even if it is landfilled, it does not harm nature. Its head is elevated at an angle of 8°, ensuring safety from bacteria.

Toothbrush design considering LCA(Life Cycle Assessment)

Considering the LCA aspect, we tried to reduce the carbon dioxide generated from the manufacturing process to the disposal stage.

Solution

1.Reduction of waste at the manufacturing stage→3-4g weight reduction per piece compared to when the material is fully filled

2.4% reduction in electrical energy, 2% reduction in water use

3.Reduction of defective rate in production

4.Reducing waste when disposing after use

5.No dioxin generation when incinerated

-Design value aspect-

[Edged back]

1. Aesthetics: a toothbrush is also an interior accessory→Change the atmosphere of the bathroom, and the stereotype that eco-friendly products are not beautiful in design→Widen the range of choices for consumers→Increase access to eco-friendly life

2. Hygienic: When the toothbrush is placed on the floor, it is slightly tilted due to the edge→The water in the bristles flows to the side→Prevents the growth of germs→Hygienic

3. Grip: When you hold the toothbrush, the edgy back naturally sits where your fingers fold→You can hold the toothbrush stably and use it

Background

When the toothbrush head touching the bottom of the shelf, invisible harmful bacteria to the human body proliferate on the toothbrush, and we use it.

To use a toothbrush safely, a toothbrush stand and cradle are used, but it also solves another problem of production consumption and disposal.

Solution

Lift the toothbrush head from the floor by about 8°.

1. The toothbrush head does not touch the floor

2. You can wipe every corner of your mouth without bending your wrist too much

[Toothbrush using biodegradable material PHACT(PHA_Polyhydroxyalkanoate)]

PHA is a material made by fermentation of microorganisms, so even if it is landfilled, it does not harm nature and becomes food for microorganisms.

Non-recyclable toothbrush heads are most suitable for using PHA materials. Even if a toothbrush made of PHA material is discarded after use, it will quickly decompose and disappear into nature.
