How long does it take a bamboo toothbrush to decompose?

Answer 1

A bamboo toothbrush typically takes about 3 to 6 months to decompose in a composting environment. This is significantly faster than plastic toothbrushes, which can take hundreds of years to break down. The natural materials in bamboo allow it to break down more efficiently when exposed to the right conditions. However, the bristles, if made from nylon, may still contribute to plastic waste and require separate disposal.
