I LOVE this company. In fact, I order from them when ever I can find a reason to. So before you start asking the who-what-why questions, let me elucidate with a description right off their website...

Preserve makes everyday products that offer more. We believe performance and style are every bit as important as their impact on the earth. Our toothbrush, tableware and all other Preserve products feel good to use and perform as well as or even better than the old standbys. And all of our products are designed to stay out of landfills when you are finished with them.


Are you in love yet? Well here's more reasons...


Preserve products are made from 100% recycled plastics and 100% post-consumer paper. By using recycled materials, we save energy, preserve natural resources and create an incentive for communities to recycle.

All of their plastic products are recyclable, either through our postage-paid labels and mailers (toothbrushes and razor handles) or at the curb side pick-up in communities that recycle #5 plastic.

They make their products in the USA, so that we can ship them shorter distances, using less fuel and limiting our environmental footprint.

They don’t test on animals. Period.


If your not swooning by now, this will get your heart thumpin'. This marvelous company has their own recycling programs. Preserve products are powered by their cosumers and their recycling efforts. Through Preserve's Gimme 5 program, you can recycle your #5 plastics—a kind of plastic that many towns and cities won't recycle. They make it so easy to recycle with pre-paid mailers (be sure to ask for a couple with your order!), drop off bins in specific Whole Foods stores and even a mail in program! AND they accept Brita water filters for recycling too! So what do they do with the toothbrushes, tongue cleaners and razor handles that get returned to them? Preserve works with a company to grind down the returned products – bristles and all – into plastic lumber to be used for park benches, decks and other useful products.

Now I'm sure everyone is itching to go look around Preserve's product list so here ya go...
