Every year at least 8million tonnes of plastics leak into the ocean and this staggering figure is expected to increase to two per minute by 2030 and four per minute by 2050, at which stage there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans!
These facilities are designed to quickly compost large amounts of waste, by providing the best possible circumstances – increased heat, humidity, access to plenty of oxygen and the correct microorganisms.
Corn dental floss is made from PLA – a material which is classified as plastic, but comes from plants (in this case, corn), biodegrades quickly and can be composted. The floss is coated with candelilla wax ,which means that it’s fully natural and 100% vegan.
Corn dental floss is classified as compostable but it likely won’t decompose in your backyard compost, as it needs specific conditions – those of an industrial composting facility – to decompose properly and quickly.
Pull about 30cm of floss out of the jar, wrap the floss around your thumb to control its position and floss slowly in the gaps between your teeth, reaching the gum on each. Repeat this every day, for best results and healthy teeth and gums.
