Who would have thought that something so essential to our daily routine could be so harmful to the environment? The toothbrush: that trusty sidekick we rely on to get our pearly whites sparkling clean. But did you know that the average toothbrush is made of plastic? And that plastic takes centuries to degrade?
That's right, those toothbrushes you've been using and throwing away your whole life are still out there somewhere, cluttering up the planet!
Well, the good news is, there's a solution. SURI (short for Sustainable Rituals) is the world's most sustainable electric toothbrush, with a recyclable plant-based head and bristles. Not only is Suri gentle on your teeth and gums, but it's also gentle on the planet too!
Before we dig further into SURI’s innovative product design, let's first take a look at the company behind it all.
SURI: A company on a mission to create the world’s most sustainable electric toothbrush
Topping the IndyBest’s roundup of Best Electric Toothbrushes in 2022, SURI is a British company that is shaking up the oral care industry with its sustainable electric toothbrush.
If you're anything like Mark Rushmore and Gyve Safavi, the founders of SURI, the idea of 4 billion toothbrushes being disposed of each year is pretty daunting. And when you learn that most of those toothbrushes are non-recyclable in standard recycling streams, it's enough to make your head spin.
According to the Cochrane Review in 2014, electric toothbrushes are proven to be more effective in reducing plaque and gingivitis. However, they also have the worst carbon footprint in comparison to other types of toothbrushes. It's estimated that electrical appliances make up for 2% of landfill waste and 70% of pollution in our land and water.
All of this is a huge bummer, we know. But SURI was created to help make a difference.
SURI was designed as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to your average toothbrush. Thankfully not only is it good for the environment - it's also proven to be more effective in reducing plaque and gingivitis. So really, it's a win-win all around.
Mission & vision:
"A world-class clean, made sustainable and joyful."
This is the mission of SURI and it drives everything they do. From the product design to the packaging, every decision is made with sustainability in mind. By taking the electric toothbrush back to first principles, they have created a product that is more effective and easier to recycle.
Their vision is to make harmony between people and the planet through sustainable product design:
"Our vision for SURI has always been to create a brand that champions a modern design, performance, and sustainability at its core. It’s been amazing to see the response we’ve had, including comments from people saying how they’ve discovered a new joy in the forgotten ritual of brushing their teeth! We're excited to be pushing boundaries in considering the complete lifecycle of our products; something the industry isn't prioritizing enough. There's a long journey ahead, but we're pleased to be moving the conversation forward."
- Gyve Safavi, CEO & Co-Founder of SURI
The toothbrush industry is ripe for change and Suri is leading the charge. With a mission to create sustainable products that promote well-being and are kind to the planet, Suri is setting a new standard for the oral care industry.

Your smile, powered by sustainability.
Sustainability is often an afterthought. Many people don’t consider the environmental impact of their daily routines and the products they use. But what if sustainability was built into products from the start? That’s the thinking behind the Suri sustainable sonic toothbrush.
This toothbrush is designed to be repaired, not replaced. When the battery eventually wears out, you can simply replace it – no need to throw away the entire toothbrush. This prolongs the life of the toothbrush and reduces waste.
With the lack of options for plastic-free toothbrushes, it's difficult to know which one is best for the environment. However, any toothbrush that lessens the amount of plastic used and packaging is a good start. Using a sustainable sonic toothbrush like Suri is one small step in making a difference for the environment.
