Preserve toothbrushes were developed with dental professionals to create a toothbrush that gets your teeth cleaner but minimizes your impact on the environment. The design includes a curved handle for those hard-to-reach places and a three-level bristle arrangement to massage your gums while brushing. And while the bristles are brand new, the handle is made from recycled, BPA free, #5 plastic.

Preserve Products: All Made in the USA from Recycled Materials
Personal Care
Take good care of yourself and lighten your impact on the planet. Our toothbrushes, razors, and other products are easy to use so your teeth stay clean and your skin smooth. They come in bright colors that will enliven any bathroom and they are made sustainably from recycled plastic in the USA. When you're done using them, you can send them back to us for recycling through our Gimme 5 program
Tableware
Our two lines of reusable, recycled #5 plastic dishware are for anyone who likes to entertain. Preserve On the Go Tableware is a lightweight, reusable line of tableware made from 100% recycled plastic. It’s perfect for parties or picnics and can withstand hundreds of runs through the dishwasher. Preserve Everyday Tableware is our most durable tableware that is designed to stand up to everyday use. It comes in four bright colors making it a big hit among kids and adults alike. A great alternative to disposable paper and single use plastic products, Preserve Everyday and On the Go tableware are intended for hundreds, even thousands of uses.
Kitchenware
Whether it’s short-order or gourmet, good cooking depends on good tools. Preserve Kitchen offers beautifully designed kitchen items that make a statement in any kitchen. Cooks like them because they are dishwasher-safe and stand up to everyday-use, and the earth loves then because they’re made from 100% recycled BPA-free plastic and post-consumer recycled paper.
