Zero Brush

Biodegradable Toothbrush to deal Plastic Pollution

Zero Brush tackles the global issue of discarded toothbrushes & toothpaste tubes with two ingenious designs: finger-based and tongue-based (ideal for accessibility) brushes. These are single-use, water soluble brushes infused with toothpaste. Crafted from semolina, corn, agar, & mint extracts, these brushes biodegrade, unlike regular brushes which contribute to harmful plastic pollution, greenhouse gases and global warming. Our unique UNO bristles & projections gently clean teeth and massage gums, while being vegan, sugar-free and affordable. We ask everyone to join the fight against plastic and unleash a wave of sustainable smiles.

JURY STATEMENT

The easily biodegradable characteristics help reduce plastic waste. As a disposable product, it offers a convenient oral hygiene solution, and is especially suitable for use while traveling. Well done!

WINNER STATEMENT

I'm still buzzing from winning an iF DESIGN STUDENT AWARD! This recognition is a massive motivation for pushing boundaries and creating innovative products that challenge the status quo and positively impact the world. Here's to many more smiles and sustainable designs.
