Zero waste: stopping plastic pollution

Zero waste

Considering the world we live in, zero waste is now a necessity. The first pollutant pointed out when we talk about the environment is plastic, and unfortunately, almost all the objects we use daily are made of plastic. However, for the good of our planet, there are currently several brands offering everyday items made with more ecological materials, such as Caliquo. This French brand is best known for its eco-friendly toothbrushes and wooden ear cleaners .

Caliquo's eco-friendly products

Caliquo is a French brand committed to environmental protection. In order to help each of us gradually move towards zero waste , it manufactures and markets eco-friendly and sustainable toothbrushes and ear cleaners made from natural materials. Caliquo toothbrushes are eco-friendly and sustainable, as they feature a rechargeable head system to last a long time in your bathroom. Used heads will be recycled by a partner company. Note that the handle of this Made in France toothbrush is made from bioplastic or recycled plastic. They are refilled by clipping, and the nylon is of optimal quality. As for its ear cleaner , it is also eco-friendly and sustainable, as it is made from walnut wood, beech wood or oak wood. Moreover, with their curved shape, they collect earwax well at the entrance of the ear canal. But let's not forget eco-friendly wooden razors to further reduce waste in the bathroom. Caliquo's unique feature is that all of its products are the result of the work of local artisans. By choosing these French-made tools, you'll be helping to reduce plastic and benefiting from artisanal expertise.

What about bamboo toothbrushes?

To get started with zero waste , many people have opted for the bamboo toothbrush . It has the same principle as the classic plastic toothbrush, but unlike the latter, it has a bamboo handle which is a natural material. Also, it is not thrown away, it is only the head that needs to be changed after wear. But can we really say that the bamboo toothbrush is ecological? The subject is still debated, because it has an impact on the environment because of the carbon footprint during its transport. You should know that bamboo does not grow in Europe, but only in Asia and Africa. And even if it can be used for life, its head is not compostable because of the nylon bristles and the metal ring. It must therefore be admitted that this bamboo toothbrush is not totally ecological. The safest and most ecological alternative for our planet remains the Made in France toothbrush from Caliquo. Its carbon footprint is very low unlike the bamboo toothbrush.

Caliquo is a French brand that produces eco-responsible everyday items.
