With 8 million tons of plastic entering our oceans yearly, eco-conscious consumers are turning to zero-waste alternatives—including mouthwash tablets. These tiny, plastic-free powerhouses eliminate the need for bulky bottles while delivering fresh breath and healthy gums.
But not all mouthwash tablets are created equal. Here’s how to choose the best sustainable option for your oral care routine.
Most traditional mouthwashes come in non-recyclable plastic bottles. Eco-friendly tablets use:
✔ Compostable pouches (plant-based materials)
✔ Glass jars (reusable or recyclable)
✔ Metal tins (infinitely recyclable)
Tablets are lighter to ship than liquid mouthwash, cutting transportation emissions by up to 80%.

❌ Synthetic dyes
