The Plastic you didn't know you are eating

Microplastics have quietly snuck onto our plates—and into our bodies. Found in everything from bottled water and salt to seafood and even fresh produce, these tiny plastic particles are becoming an invisible ingredient in our everyday meals.

Recent studies show that the average person could be ingesting up to a credit card’s worth of plastic every week. That’s not sci-fi - it’s real life.

And the trend? It’s climbing. As plastic pollution rises, so does our accidental intake. We’re not just eating food anymore. We’re consuming the byproduct of a throwaway culture.

Here’s the deal:

Microplastics are now being detected in fish, tea bags, table salt, honey, and even fruits and veggies. It’s time to ask—how much plastic is in your daily diet?

The impact of microplastics on the human body

Let’s get real - microplastics don’t just float around in oceans. They’re entering us. Through every bite, sip, and breath, we’re unknowingly stacking up a load of synthetic particles our bodies were never meant to process.

So what happens when this plastic builds up inside us?

⚠️ Disruption of hormones

Microplastics can act like hormone disruptors, throwing our endocrine system off balance. Think messed up metabolism, reproductive issues, and potential links to fertility decline.

⚠️ Inflammation & cellular damage

Once inside the body, microplastics may trigger inflammation and oxidative stress—damaging cells and possibly setting the stage for more serious conditions.

⚠️ Toxic chemical transfer

They don’t come alone. Microplastics carry toxic hitchhikers—pesticides, heavy metals, industrial chemicals—that can leach into our bloodstream.

⚠️ Unknown long-term effects

The scariest part? We still don’t know how deep the damage goes. But early studies are flashing red lights across the board.

The silent threat of nylon in dental care

Around 95% of all toothbrush bristles - yes, even the fancy electric ones - are made from nylon. It’s cheap, mass-produced, and has been the default material for decades.

But here’s the issue: nylon is tiny, fragile, and breaks off easily. These microscopic fragments don’t just disappear—they can end up in your mouth, your gums, and even be swallowed over time.

And the worst part? Most people have no idea this is happening. Whether it’s a €1 supermarket brush or a €150 sonic gadget, nylon bristles are shedding pieces with every brush.

It’s a problem hidden in plain sight - and it’s time to question the material behind the bristles.

nylon bristles vs. TPU

Nylon bristles

damage oral health

  • Shed microplastics

    Breaks down into tiny plastic fragments that can be swallowed or trapped in gums.

  • Irritate gums

    Stiff, outdated material causes irritation, recession, and microtears.

  • Not sustainable

    Ends up as non-recyclable waste, adding to the plastic crisis.

TPU bristles

improve oral health

  • Microplastic-free

    Bristles stay intact—no risk of ingestion or residue due to flexibility of the TPU.

  • Gum-safe comfort

    Soft, flexible bristles that feel like a gentle mouth massage.

  • Eco-friendly

    Recyclable head + reusable metal handle = smarter, cleaner brushing.

The science behind TPU

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a high-performance polymer used in medical-grade applications - from flexible catheters to surgical instruments.

Why? Because it’s biocompatible, non-toxic, and engineered for durability.

Here’s why TPU beats nylon, scientifically:

🔬 Elasticity & gentleness

TPU’s elastomeric nature means it flexes with pressure instead of scraping. This reduces the risk of gum damage, enamel wear, and inflammation - making it ideal for daily contact with soft tissue.

🧪 Hygienic by design

Unlike nylon, which is porous and absorbs moisture, TPU has a closed-cell structure. That means it resists bacterial buildup, stays cleaner longer, and dries faster - minimizing the risk of bacterial transfer to your mouth.

🧠 Long-term durability

TPU bristles retain their shape, structure, and cleaning power over time. No fraying, no snapping - so there’s no microplastic shedding, unlike brittle nylon fibers that break down and end up in your body.

♻️ Recyclable & safe

TPU is fully recyclable and free from BPA, phthalates, and harmful additives - making it not just safer for your health, but better for the planet too.
