  • Westcountry Tea Co. confirms that it supports and trades in line with the ETI Base code.

    Committed to using and promoting the use of plastic free, this English Breakfast Tea Bag is completely plastic and packaging free. Using the world’s first 100% plastic free heat sealable tea bag material. The tea bags are made from corn starch, which is a 100% natural fibre, so they do not contain any petroleum based synthetic fabrics, making them 100% biodegradable / compostable. Ideally, they would like to be put into an industrial compost “Council food waste collection”, however if you do compost at home, it is possible but it can take up to 3 years and only on a well-maintained compost heap. If they end up going to landfill or being burned, at least there is no plastic going into the ground or atmosphere.

    Not all teas are certified fair trade however all producers have been vetted to ensure the farms/plantations all comply with national and international laws, meaning no forced or under age labour and workers are paid a correct wage. That they work in safe and hygienic working conditions with no harsh or inhumane treatment and fair working hours.

    Most of West Country Tea Co teas are organic, however they are unable to advertise or sell them as such, as they are not organic certified themselves. As they process the ingredients in blending they would need to be certified and unfortunately this is a very expensive route to take and not an option for them at the moment.

Toilet Roll

plastic-free-toilet-roll.png
  • 2 Ply Recycled toilet roll manufactured from 100% post-consumer waste paper.

    410 pattern embossed sheets per roll which makes each roll 45.1 meters long and is the longest UK manufactured 100% plastic packaging free toilet roll.

  • UK. Delivered to us via road

  • Sold individually package free.

    Delivered to us in a cardboard box which is reused for our home delivery service.

  • Recycled paper is far more sustainable than virgin pulp.

    The pulp and paper industry as a whole is the largest global consumer of virgin wood, using about 35% of harvested trees for the manufacture of paper. It is a major contributor to deforestation and thereby biodiversity loss, soil erosion, species extinction, and ecosystem disruptions. It’s among the top five most energy-intensive industries and accounts for approximately 2% of direct industrial CO2 emissions. 2020 NRDC research found that clearing of the boreal forest was continuing at the rate of a million acres a year to create products like toilet paper and that the biggest brands continued to make their tissue products from 100% virgin fibre.

    Separating the fibres to make pulp for papermaking takes far fewer resources when those fibres are recycled from recovered paper than when they’re derived directly from trees. Recycling is simply more efficient. It cuts down no trees, uses less energy and water, produces less solid waste, and diverts paper away from landfill.

    According to the Environmental Paper Network’s paper calculator, tissue made from recycled content has one-third the greenhouse gas emissions of tissue fibre made from virgin wood.

    Totally plastic-free, including all their delivery packaging and tape.

Plastic Free Toothpaste Tablets

plastic-free-toothpaste.png
  • To keep teeth clean and healthy!

    Simply chew tablet with teeth then brush with wet toothbrush as normal and rinse.

    A great alternative to plastic packaged toothpaste.

  • Denttabs have cleverly removed all unnecessary water from conventional toothpaste which not only means we can buy it plastic free but also removes the need for a lot of chemicals and preservatives.

    Contains Fluoride (1450 ppm)

    Vegan and Natural cosmetics certified.

    Full ingredients list:

    Microfine cellulose fibres, Citric acid, Sodium hydrogen carbonate, Silica, Amisoft (Sodium Lauryl Glutamate), Natural mint flavour, Eugenol, Xanthan Gum, Stevia (Stevioside), Menthol, Sodium fluoride, Magnesium Stearate

    Ingredients description:

    Microfine cellulose fibres (Microcrystalline Cellulose)

    The cellulose fibres in the toothpaste tablets are obtained from woody plant parts. Of course, FSC certified and grown in the EU. It is a long-chain polysaccharide that can polish your teeth ultra-smooth up to the interdental spaces. That's why new particles roll off the surfaces of your teeth. Coatings, also known as plaque, can practically not form in the first place.

    Citric acid

    Stimulates the flow of saliva. The increased salivary flow with natural calcium and phosphate ions causes faster remineralization of the enamel and tooth.

    Sodium hydrogen carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate)

    Also known as sodium bicarbonate, in the reaction with the citric acid adjusts the pH of the tab to a neutral value during tooth brushing.

    Silica

    Serves as gentle cleaning body.

    Amisoft (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate)

    A mild and natural surfactant composed of vegetable fatty acids and the amino acid glutamic acid isolated from plant proteins. When cleaning, it helps to combine proteins, fats and carbohydrates with water to flush them out when rinsing.

    Natural mint flavor

    Provides together with the stevia extract and menthol for the pleasant feeling of freshness in the mouth.

    Eugenol

    Part of our natural mint flavor. Eugenol is also known as a characteristic flavoring from cloves.

    Xanthan Gum

    A natural polysaccharide that is also used as a thickener and gelling agent. In the toothpaste tab, it provides the pleasant creaminess after chewing the tab.

    Stevia (Stevioside)

    Sweet tasting plant, which together with the aroma and menthol provides the good taste. Stevioside are not sugar, but proteins that have a characteristic sweet taste. Therefore, stevioside can not trigger tooth decay.

    Menthol

    Provides freshness in the mouth

    Sodium fluoride (Sodium Fluoride)

    Serves the remineralization of tooth enamel and can especially help with sensitive teeth, but also with incipient caries.

    Magnesium Stearate

    A herbal excipient necessary for tab production.

  • Sold loose, store in a air tight container at home.

    Sold to us in a paper bag and a cardboard box which are recycled and reused for our plastic free home delivery service.

  • Germany. Delivered to us via land.

  • Climate neutral:

    Denttabs have calculated and offset the carbon footprint of their toothpaste tabs together with Climate Partner.

    Renewable raw material:

    More than two-thirds of the toothpaste tabs contain a renewable raw material: cellulose from FSC-certified forests in Sweden.

    Water-free:

    No water, saving an important resource.

    A circular product: By using waste materials to make new products which are then fully recyclable, we can reuse the same materials over and over, closing the circle. This drastically reduces CO2 emissions, stops consumption of the planet’s precious resources, and eliminates pollution; the three core environmental challenges humanity faces. The Circular Checklist: Choose Recycled. Challenge Longevity. Check Recyclable.

    Throwaway single use cups have three problems: what they’re made of, how many there are, and where they end up. The UK is using and binning at least 2.5 billion takeaway cups a year. Just one in every 400 – are recycled. Every day around half a million become street litter, and the vast bulk of them end up in landfill, where the plastic could take centuries to degrade. Most takeaway paper cups have a polyethylene plastic lining which makes them difficult to recycle. And even with the move to compostable cups most are only compostable in an industrial composer rather than at home.

    Remember that with any reusable product, it needs to be reused many times to keep its lifetime carbon emissions below that of the equivalent number of disposable cups - so don’t leave your reusable collecting dust at home!
