How can sugar be GOOD for your teeth?

• The new TePe GOOD® toothbrush is made from sugar cane. Sugars from the sugar cane plant are converted to ethanol.

• Ethanol is then converted into polyethylene which is used to manufacture our bio-plastic (green plastic) toothbrush.

Why is this better for the environment ?

• Unlike fossil fuels, bio-based polyethylene (green plastic) made from sugar cane is renewable up to 96%. This means that sugar cane can be regrown within a year and be used to produce new bio-plastic.

• Bio-based polyethylene also has a 95% carbon dioxide neutral footprint. This means that there is an almost negligible impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

…when it’s used to make a toothbrush!

Smile, it’s GOOD for you

The TePe GOOD packaging is made from:

• Blister pack - 70% recycled PET which has approx. 60% lower CO₂ emissions

• Backing card - from FSC approved cardboard.

• Both can be widely recycled in the UK.

The TePe GOOD® toothbrush is made from:

• Handle – bio-based polyethylene (based on sugar cane) which has a renewable content of 96%

• Filaments – bio-based polyamide (based on castor oil or ricinoil) from 100% renewable sources
