1oz - 5oz Toothpaste TubeUpdated 3 months ago

Material: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) tube with at least 30% of which being either post-consumer recycle (PCR) or bio-based plastic. Virgin polypropylene (PP) caps and boxes made from 100% recycled paper.

Recyclability: Not yet - Our toothpaste tubes have been third-party tested to meet the Association of Plastic Recyclers’ critical guidance requirements and meet APR’s critical guidance for recyclability. 

While this speaks to the compatibility of our toothpaste tubes with HDPE bottle recycling, it does not speak to the collection of used tubes or include other tubes in the market that may conflict with the HDPE bottle recycling process, thus we encourage you to check locally. 

The industry is having ongoing conversations around tube recyclability so this may change in the future. 

Additionally, due to their somewhat shallow and narrow dimensions, our travel-size 1oz toothpaste tubes may be at risk of not sorting at a Recycling Facility successfully. 

In the meantime, we are maximizing the amount of material from renewable resources to reduce the amount of plastic in our tubes, such as utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) or bio-based plastics made from sugarcane—a more sustainable alternative to virgin petroleum-based plastics.

After Life Instructions: Empty the tube, replace cap and recycle*.

*Recycling systems, facility capabilities, and the market value of recycled materials vary around the world, so we encourage you to visit Earth911 or Carton Council website to determine if our packaging is recyclable in your area.
