Bamboo Switch — Vegan Bamboo Floss

Floss that goes in the compost, not the landfill.

Most floss is nylon or Teflon-coated plastic. This one is spun from bamboo fiber, coated in candelilla plant wax and lightly infused with tea tree oil for a clean mint finish. The charcoal-infused version adds activated charcoal to the strand. It glides between teeth the same way conventional floss does, and when the spool runs out you drop it in the compost.

The spool comes in a recycled paper box folded together with tabs, no tape or glue, so the whole package breaks down.

Who this is for

• You are cutting plastic out of the bathroom one item at a time
• You want floss without synthetic coatings or artificial flavor
• You already use a bamboo toothbrush and want the rest of the kit to match
• You like the light, cooling taste of tea tree over sugary mint
