Plackers has launched 100% biodegradable dental flossers—and they are completely compostable. 

Plackers’ new EcoChoice Compostable Dental Flossers are designed to decompose in a home composter.

The new compostable flossers expand the EcoChoice portfolio of sustainable dental products, joining their Recycled Flossers and Floss products.

“Our new EcoChoice Compostable Flossers are a true innovation in more sustainable dental products,” said Patrick Sherer, Plackers Development Engineer. “They not only offer the convenience people expect from flossers but create an opportunity to reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in oceans and landfills.”

The Compostable Packaging 

EcoChoice Compostable Flossers are comprised of Danimer Scientific’s PHA which is a biopolymer derived from Canola oil, natural silk floss, and coconut coating. Engineered to decompose after 26 weeks in a home or industrial compost, these cruelty-free and BPA-free flossers will gently clean between your teeth while also caring for the planet. 

The product is sold on Amazon.
