According to Trivium Packaging's 2021 Global Buying Green Report: two-thirds of consumers consider it important that the products they buy are in recyclable packaging, and the same percentage of consumers considers themselves environmentally aware.
More than 54% of the study group took sustainable packaging into consideration when making purchases. However those same consumers complained about the limited options when it comes to eco-friendly purchases.
Solution: manufactures must create more purchasing options that are eco-friendly, recyclable or biodegradable. "We need more choice, to do more good!"
America's dental-catalogs have limited to ZERO options when it comes to plant-based hygiene products. Patients are no-longer happy with the amount of plastic in products used and given away at their Dentist. Just ask your hygienist for some feedback and they'll confirm this trend is increasing every year.
For years we’ve over done it with using chemicals to clean everything including our teeth. Our role as dental providers would be switching patients to plant-based products with compostable packaing.
According to the ADA one billion tooth brushes are thrown away annualy; not to mention tons of waste from nylon floss and plastic tubes of tooth-paste that never break-down nor degrade over time.
HYGYNE is an innovative oral-care brand that is taking this challenge "head-on" by removing plastics, chemicals and wasteful packaging from all of the products dental providers recommend to patients.
All of our formulas are 100% plant-based. All of our products have packaging that is 100% biodegradable.
We've changed our relationship with oral-hygiene products and how they affect our planet - we hope to do the same for you and your practice!
