Better for the environment because I’ll be able to recycle it afterwards. Not like the tubes of toothpaste that aren’t recyclable. I sent an email to my city and asked them why it’s not recyclable and they told me that it’s impossible to wash the tubes of toothpaste. Check on your city’s to see if they are recyclable and if not then maybe it’s a good idea to try the containers. I looked at the containers at the grocery store and they have the recycle symbol and the number on it.

I’ve noticed Tom’s of Maine, Colgate, and Crest, have them. I’m not sure what else. Aquafresh has a toothpaste for kids that’s in a tall, solid container, but I’m not sure if it’s recyclable (that ’s it for them). AIM, Sensodyne, Close-Up, Arm & Hammer don’t have recyclable containers. I looked at their products on their websites.

It will be Tom’s of Maine for me from now on. A natural, vegan, cruelty-free toothpaste with fluoride. They have non-fluoride toothpastes as well.
