The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends flossing our teeth once daily as part of good oral hygiene. Unfortunately, nearly all floss is unrecyclable; the dispenser is also made of plastic. If everyone in the U.S. flossed according to ADA recommendations, the amount of floss used could wrap around the Earth 1,246 times, and the containers could fill two football fields six stories tall.

Flaus is a new oral care brand that minimizes the plastic required for flossing. Flaus’ packaging is plastic-free, the mailer is compostable, and the handle utilizes infinitely recyclable aluminum. The floss heads use 95% less dental floss and get made of recyclable plastic, which Flaus says you can toss into the recycle bin.
