Eco dental floss

Posted by Siel in consumerism, environment (Saturday May 13, 2006 at 12:12 pm)

Owning a piece of Co-opportunity’s taking me into new, uncharted eco-territory — this time in my mouth.

Yesterday, I bought Eco-Dent’s GentleFloss. This is a plastic-free, vegan, recyclable and biodegreable dental floss that comes in a recyclable paper package printed with soy ink. Cost: $5.49 for 100 yards, making it comperably priced to “regular” dental floss.

The stuff’s pretty nondescript — feels like regular dental floss.

So now I have a toothbrush with recyclable heads, natural toothpaste from Tom’s of Maine, and biodegreable dental floss.

Oral fixation? An eco-one, perhaps…

  1. I’ve been using this floss for awhile - I buy it straight off of their website - and I LOVE it. I think it’s way better than the crappy corporate stuff.

  2. Shipping would be almost as much as the floss itself though. Or do you get like 10 at a time to take advantage of the free shipping for orders over $50? I feel really lucky to have Co-opportunity near me –
