Huppy’s vegan zero waste toothpaste was the end result from over 100 formula iterations to create one of the best eco-friendly toothpastes around. The active ingredient in Prozac, which is used primarily to treat depression along with a number of other mental health conditions, is fluoxetine hydrochloride. This is not the same as fluoride—its chemical structure is made up of a variety of elements and fluoride is just part of this. The design has been approved by RecyClass, which sets the recyclability standard for Europe, as well as laboratories in Asia and North America. Meeting these rigorous requirements mean the new tubes can be recycled within standard HDPE recycling streams. Working in partnership to drive innovation marked a point in time that the FDA discovered tooth paste makers weren’t following the safety guidelines carefully enough where toothpaste was concerned. After which a quite frightening warning label started to appear on your favorite brands.

The NHS describes fluoride as “a naturally occurring mineral found in water in varying amounts, depending on where in the UK you live.” It also says it’s added to many brands of toothpaste and to the water supply in some areas through a process called fluoridation.Cheng X, Liu J, Li J, Zhou X, Wang L, Liu J, Xu X (February 2017). "Comparative effect of a stannous fluoride toothpaste and a sodium fluoride toothpaste on a multispecies biofilm". Archives of Oral Biology. 74: 5–11. doi: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2016.10.030.

Unilever to introduce recyclable toothpaste tubes

Valkenburg C, Slot DE, Bakker EW, Van der Weijden FA (December 2016). "Does dentifrice use help to remove plaque? A systematic review". Journal of Clinical Periodontology. 43 (12): 1050–1058. doi: 10.1111/jcpe.12615. PMID 27513809. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral. Its use has been instrumental in the dramatic drop in tooth decay and cavity occurrence that has taken place over the past 50 years. Bacteria in your mouth feed on sugars and starches that remain on your teeth after eating. Fluoride helps protect your teeth from the acid that is released when this happens. It does this in two ways. First, fluoride makes your tooth enamel stronger and less likely to suffer acid damage. Second, it can reverse the early stages of acid damage by remineralizing areas that have started to decay. Tartar Fighting Toothpastes & Toxic Reactions". toxictoothpaste.org. Archived from the original on April 23, 2012.In 2019, we earned recognition for technical recyclability from the APR (Association of Plastic Recyclers), showing that tubes of the right design are compatible with the HDPE #2 container recycling process. We also tested the sortability of tubes in the lab as well as in the field at MRFs (sorting facilities); data from these efforts shows that our full size tubes are able to make it through to the container line successfully, and there is minimal mis-sorting.

All fluoride containing toothpastes are regulated by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). We put an expiration date on our products that coincides with our product stability testing results and depending on the product, it varies from 18 to 24 months after manufacturing date. After this time has elapsed, the fluoride and aesthetic aspects (i.e. flavor, consistency) may diminish. Therefore, even though the toothpaste is not harmful, we do not recommend using it. O'Mullane DM (2016). "Fluoride and Oral Health". Community Dental Health. 33 (33): 69–99. doi: 10.1922/CDH_3707O’Mullane31. PMID 27352462.A lot, actually. We’re leading industry groups and working with industry partners globally on education about recyclability and wider acceptance of recyclable tubes. We're sharing our knowledge and technology with any other interested company. We're also verifying the sortability of tubes through testing in labs and real facilities to make sure there is not too much mis-sorting. The more recyclable tubes are used in the market and as more recyclers are educated about recyclable tubes, the easier it will become for reprocessors to recycle tubes coming their way.
