Q: After 3 years that someone asked I would like to know if there's any change regarding the floss picks: are they compostable or biodegradable or they are still made of plastic (and misleading people)?

submitted by BaMottaB - 2 years ago
  • A: We understand and agree with your concerns, our R&D team are consistently working on a new formulation and as of today the PLA has increased to 53%. Our new packaging displays the ingredients.

Q: Do these contain Fluoride?

submitted by JG - 4 years ago
  • A: No they do not, they are fluoride free.

    submitted byThe Humble Co - 3 years ago

Q: Are these compostable or biodegradable? How do you dispose of them?

submitted by nb - 5 years ago
  • A: Our floss picks are not yet considered compostable or biodegradable. The packaging that holds the floss picks can be disposed of in your household waste. For the floss picks please contact your local recycling facility to see if there’s a recycling solution in place for PLA/PP mixed-material.

Barely plant based, total greenwash

Handle: 53% plant-based (cornstarch), but the rest is polypropylene (PP) Floss: polyethylene (plastic) Packaging: mixed-material, not compostable—and the company says it “can be disposed in household waste” Why it’s misleading: At best, half the handle is plant material; the other half is fossil-fuel plastic. The floss itself is pure plastic. No real biodegradability: R&D is “working on it,” but as of now the picks aren’t compostable or biodegradable

Greenwashing

This is totally greenwashing. I thought these were made of bamboo but they are made from a blend of plastic and only 53% plant-based materials. Will not be buying again.

Lies!

Seems like a good floss to purchase to live a plastic-free life and save the earth…. WRONG!! PP= polypropylene… terrible for you and terrible for the environment. Don’t buy this deceiving product. It’s all a lie.

2 major drawbacks

These are not compostable and are partially plant based which makes this greenwashing at it's finest. Sure it's less plastic but not completely plastic free. The double floss is not a good idea. It's difficult to angle correctly and the 2nd floss ends up cutting my gums. Now every time I use the floss, I cut one row and floss and it works a lot better. Now I have a bunch of floss picks I don't really want to use

Work well

Work well I would have thought that the floss would have been waxed for ease of use between tight teeth but it’s not..and the handles are plastic They do work well but hopefully in the future they will use waxed floss for ease of use.

Love these floss picks

Best floss picks ever! I love that these are plant-based, and don’t have the additives that a lot of floss has. The double strung floss looks a little intimidating at first, but it’s both comfortable to use and really effective. I’ve started to floss with a lot more regularity, and have repurchased these picks a couple times now. I’ve even given bags of them to friends! Highly recommend.

Wish it was Compostable instead of Biodegradable

Works great. Convenient. Wish it was Compostable because biodegradable still uses petroleum

Best floss for us

Very sturdy and comfortable to handle for both adults and kids. It is good for a facility composting that works for us as we have organics recycling in our city.

Not a fan of the double row of floss

I ordered these because Target was out of the Oral B eco picks and I thought these would be similar. They are not. The OB eco picks are superior in every way. I didn’t realize it when I ordered these, but there are actually two separate strips of floss on each pick. I felt like the double row of floss made it much harder to move between my teeth. So I had to use more force, but that also meant I had to be a lot more careful not to use too *much* force. I also found that the sides of the picks have two little raised spots where the floss strips connect to the pick. They’re not necessarily “sharp,” but they are definitely not smooth. I won’t be using these.

READ BEFORE BUYING - Misleading advertising

Misleading advertising I thought these were mainly plant based, I bought four packs. Now I have realized that PP means plastic… this is such misleading advertising and I’m very upset to have eco buzz words used to take my money.

Really effective

I originally got these because they’re biodegradable but they are the best floss picks I’ve ever used. The double floss line really gets a lot out. I love them.

Solid eco-friendly option

Definitely impressed with the eco-friendly approach. Haven't had any problem with floss coming out of the holder and the double-thread design makes cleaning more thorough. I'm also glad they're not using plastic for the floss because all we need is more plastic in our bodies and landfills. I do wish they had a regular floss option on a spool because I'm more adept with that. Ideally in a paper/cardboard dispenser that's fully biodegradable. I'd buy that on the regular.

60% Plastic! Terribly Misleading

I try to limit my single-use plastic usage and was hopeful when I found "plant-based" flosspicks at Target instead of having to shop at a separate retailer. However, on The Humble Co.'s own website, they state they're made of "40% PLA & 60% PP" - aka 40% Polylactic Acid (PLA, a bioplastic) and 60% Polypropylene (petroleum plastic). I won't be purchasing again for this reason alone, but they also are painful and annoying to use because they have two strings. I had to cut one of the strings on each flosspick for my family to use these. They're also more expensive than other brands that use a blend of PLA and corn starch handles.

Awesome

No Teflon in the thread, better for the environment, and does a great job on my gums. What more could I ask for?

Not made in America

These seem to work well, but they are not made in the usa as the description says, which was one of my primary purchase motivations.
