Green Foot Print

About

Green Foot Print — Bamboo & Neem Wood Personal Care in India Green Foot Print makes the plastic replacements that get used and thrown away fastest: toothbrushes, ear buds, combs, soap dishes and loofahs. These are the items where switching material actually removes waste, because they are replaced several times a year rather than once a decade. What to check before switching Bristles are not bamboo. The handle is bamboo; the bristles on almost every bamboo toothbrush sold in India are nylon, including charcoal-infused ones. Snap the head off before composting the handle. Any brand claiming fully compostable bristles should say what they are made from. Replace on the same schedule. A bamboo brush still needs changing every three months, and frayed bristles clean less well regardless of handle material. Dry between uses. Bamboo and neem wood last far longer stood upright in a dry holder than left in a wet mug. This is the single biggest factor in how long they last. Neem wood combs do not build static the way plastic combs do. Wide-tooth for wet or curly hair, fine-tooth for detangling dry hair. Loofah here is plant-grown gourd, not plastic mesh. Rinse and hang after use, and replace every month or two. Coconut shell soap dishes need drainage — a raised or slatted base keeps the bar from going soft. Everything is vegan and free of animal bristles. Related: Toiletries , Wooden Hair Combs and Personal Care . Delivered pan-India in 3–5 days.
