Most plastic dental floss is made from nylon or Teflon – neither of which is biodegradable. Thankfully, we don’t need to sacrifice the environment (and the plumbing in our home) to keep up a good dental hygiene habit.Corn dental floss is made from PLA – a material which is classified as plastic, but comes from plants (in this case, corn), biodegrades quickly and can be composted. The floss is coated with candelilla wax similarly to the bamboo charcoal option, which means that it’s fully natural and 100% vegan.How is corn converted into PLA? This involves the creation of a polymer (material with plastic-like properties) from the starch in corn. Contrary to normal plastic, no crude oil or other fossil fuels are used, which also helps avoid the release of many toxic chemicals into the environment.-Reusable steel and glass container.-30m of floss.-Peppermint Flavour.-Biodegradable.-Vegan Friendly.Our dental floss come in glass jars with a metal lid and measures out to 30m Once you use up your floss, you can order the next one without packaging and insert it in the jar you’ve used for your previous floss.We only ship using recyclable biodegradable material

Decent floss
Does as it advertises. Kind of waxed coating so reasonably strong

Awful
This floss is awful, it shreds and breaks as you’re using it leaving strands stuck between your teeth. Does not taste of mint as described. Impossible to get between some teeth as it’s too thick.Gutted because I wanted an eco friendly alternative to plastic floss.

Not very strong
I have brought other makes of eco floss, but this one tends to shred very easily, so it is continuously breaking. This results in wasting a lot of tape.

harsh
The flavour is not like peppermint, more like oil. It shreds easily if the teeth are close together. I have not had dental floss before that makes the gums bleed. The only nice thing is the neat packaging.

Isn’t very strong
This isn’t very strong unfortunately, breaks away in teeth when your flossing. I bought this because I wanted to do better for the environment but can’t use and will have to order something else now.

Excellent
The most beautiful packaging for dental floss I've ever seen :)Easy to use too. Highly recommended.

A step in the right direction but...
Eco-friendly, for sure, but the floss snaps easily and is very sharp, so it damages the gums.
