I spent part of last night watching The Green on the Sundance Channel. It’s a new regular series of programming dedicated to environmental issues. Some of the stuff they had on last night (which I think was a repeat of programs aired earlier in the week) was really interesting. They profiled a recyclable Ford concept car made from soy-based materials, talked a lot about the Cradle to Cradle philosophy and spotlighted Recycline, a companyrecyclineproducts.jpg which creates toothbrushes, razors and tableware out of recycled plastics.

I really want to try out the Recycline toothbrushes. They have a program where you can send back the old, used toothbrushes and razors and they will have them recycled into plastic used in the construction of picnic tables and the like. They’re sold at a lot of health food stores, Whole Foods supermarkets, select Target locations and through their online store.

Hello again-
It’s christal (your green project compratriot), I just wanted to let you know that I have been using the preserve toothbrushes from recycline for nearly 2 years and I love them! The razors are great, too! I love them so much I am currently working on getting them into the hotel where I work for our guests.
So give em a shot, you won’t be disappointed!

that is… compatriot. oops!

My husband uses their razor—we managed to buy it without any packaging whatsoever, too, which was groovy.

I’d be tempted to try the razors too, but unfortunately I’ve been pretty brand-loyal to my preferred razor virtually since I first started shaving. Every time I try to use something different I end up with all sorts of nicks and cuts.

I’ll have to look for them at Whole Foods…Maybe if I can see them in person first I’ll change my mind. I’m definitely getting the toothbrushes though!

[...] One of my errands earlier this evening was a stop at Whole Foods, and I celebrated Blog Action Day by finally picking up some Preserve recycled plastic toothbrushes to try. (You can also order them online, as well as send in your old ones for recycling, but I wanted to try one out before ordering online.) Once I got home I made sure that everything was together for our twice-monthly recycling pickup tomorrow. Unfortunately New Orleans still doesn’t have a citywide curbside recycling program running again, but that’s where Phoenix Recycling comes in. [...]
