Why Toothpaste tabs?
All our lives we've known toothpaste in plastic tubes. We don't know anything else. Tubes were a great invention in the 19th century, but they’ve become a real problem now. Each year, over 1.5 billion of them end up in landfills and our oceans, where they barely decompose. The rest of the 20 billion get burned, causing harmful CO2. This is not acceptable and we want to change that.

Does it foam as well?
Firstly, foam is a marketing trick. It does nothing for oral care. Different countries have preferences for different foam levels. In the Netherlands, we have become accustomed to a lot of foam. Our toothpaste tabs foam nicely, but not as much as 'regular' toothpaste, because we don't use a chemical foaming agent (SLS), but a natural coconut extract.

Validated expected impact
We ran the expected numbers for the plastic-free packaging of our Brush Mints in Europe. Then we had those projections validated by the Climate Impact Forecast Agency, which is affiliated with the Delft Technical University.
It turns out that reducing the amount of plastic tubes being used by 1 million, can create the same CO2 reduction as planting 25,000 trees.
This projection doesn’t even include:
- Not using harsh chemicals or micro-plastics
- Not using paper boxes for plastic tubes
- Reduced CO2 emissions due to Brush Mints being lighter than plastic tubes
- CO2 neutral delivery vs local retail
Due to this, we expect our total environmental impact in Europe to turn out exponentially higher than projected in our Climate Impact Forecast (a lighter form of Life Cycle Analysis).
Outside Europe that impact is MUCH HIGHER STILL. Plastic waste is collected (and incinerated) much less there and disappears into our environment on a larger scale.
