Re-engineering existing plastic product with biodegradable material

Abstract

The Toothbrush has been an integral part of a daily routine across many cultures around the world in the 21st century. Numerous types of toothbrushes have been developed over time. A toothbrush is used to clean the teeth, gums, and tongue. Around 99% of toothbrushes in the world are made from plastic. While plastics have many valuable uses, humans have developed a dependence on disposable plastic, which has a serious impact on the environment. Half of all plastic produced is intended to be used once and then discarded. Plastic garbage has become so pervasive in the natural world that it has devolved into the trash and has had far-reaching consequences. Observing the current environmental consequences, it is necessary to make environmentally friendly toothbrushes. This project aims to replace plastic with biodegradable materials which can decompose in nature without ruining the environment. During the current state of the world, the project focus to make biodegradable toothbrush body from waste and bristle from bioplastic and encourages activities to make use of biodegradable material making and using.
