Why Re-Brush?

      Earth is the place we call HOME.  With an estimated world population of 9.8 Billion by 2050, we can see the worldwide generation of waste to increase dramatically.  At Smiti Inc, we are passionate about how we can help reduce the ever growing waste generation by focusing on daily habits. This is why we created Re-Brush.

     Plastic toothbrushes however convenient does have a huge impact on our earth when disposed and left in landfills. There are 4.7 billion plastic toothbrushes produced annually with each brush lasting about 1000 years, and there are over 80 million pounds of toothbrushes that are thrown into North American landfills each year.

     What if there is a way to design a toothbrush where the toothbrush head can be replaced every 2-3 months while reusing the handle for a long time. There was born Re-Brush.

     We have taken the best in class eco-friendly materials to create a handle combined with renewably sourced head to create a toothbrush where the head can be replaced every 2-3 months* while the handle can be used for a long time. 

     We have also created a great subscription plan for easy sign up and to receive the brush head every 3 months  - sign up once and leave your brushing needs to us

* American Dental Association (ADA) recommends to change the  brush head every 3 months

FAQ

Why the name Re-Brush?

To emphasize the Re-cyclable, Re-usable and Re-new-able qualities of the brush, we named it simply Re-Brush.

How to dispose the toothbrush heads?

The brush head is made of PLA or bioplastic which is biodegradable. PLA products can be composted several ways. However, PLA must be disposed separately than regular plastic and food waste. Please check with your local industrial/commercial composter for options. Since it is difficult for everyone to find an industrial compostor, we urge you to send us back the used heads so that we can compost them. We will include an paid envelope with your subscription for you to send us the heads, please save atleast 4 heads and send them all to us.

How often should we change the toothbrush head?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you replace your toothbrush approximately every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.

Where can I get the additional toothbrush heads?

Currently, the new toothbrush heads can be purchased on our official website

Is there any new color available for the toothbrush head or handle?

Blue and Red are our basic colors and will be available at all times. We are continuously working to provide more color choice.

How does Subscription work?

Once signed up you will receive 1 complete set and will be charged $4.99. Every 3 months we will send you a new brush head charging $4.99

How long will it take my order to arrive?

We partner with the United States Postal Service, Canada Post, and the major parcel carriers to get your brush to you quickly. That typically takes about 5-10 business days, and you can always track it by visiting your Profile, or using the Shipping Confirmation email that we send as soon as your order heads out into the world

How long can I use the handle and how to recycle?

The handle is made of Aluminium and can be used for a long time (preferably for couple of years), the handle can be recycled by placing in any metal recycling bin.

What about the bristles?

Since currently there is no viable solution to have an eco-friendly material for the bristles, we still use Nylon. When you send us the brushhead for composting, we separate the nylon from the head and compost the PLA portion of the head. We are actively looking for solutions to re purpose the nylon, one current thought is to make mats.
