Every morning, you brush your teeth. What happens with the toothpaste tube once it’s finished? Chances are, like most of us do, it is thrown into the garbage without a second thought. This regular habit means each year we add more than 900 million toothpaste tubes to landfills and oceans on a global scale. Those tubes are made with more than 11 layers of plastics, polymers and resins that are unable to be recycled and take over 500 years to break down. It’s clear that a fundamental change is needed to protect our beautiful planet.
At Change Toothpaste, we’ve developed a toothpaste tablet that eliminates the need for a tube altogether. Packaged in 100% compostable pouches, our zero-waste tablets are a small change that have a big environmental impact.
Change Toothpaste is an easy way to reduce your environmental footprint and enjoy a clean, fresh brush—without any harsh chemicals. Our vegan-friendly tablets are all natural and contain no gluten, dairy, nuts or soy.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your interest in joining the Change Toothpaste family as we continue on our zero-waste journey to help make the world a happier, healthier place.
We wouldn’t be where we are today without Founder Mike Medicoff’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Sydney. Inspired to make her family’s home as zero-waste as possible, Syd had a Eureka moment when she realized toothpaste tubes are not recyclable.
After more research, our team discovered millions of tubes end up in landfills and oceans every year, wreaking havoc on our ecosystems. Bad news, right? But here’s the bright side: there is a simple solution!
We ordered some lab coats, rolled up our sleeves and got to work developing a no-tube toothpaste. We knew it had to taste good and work just like regular paste or people would not change that habit. After trying over a hundred formulations, we created the perfect toothpaste tablet recipe, that give you a clean, fresh brush without any harsh chemicals, and packaged in 100% compostable pouches. Just like paste, without the waste!
