Meet the award-winning toothbrush making smiles sustainable
SURI has created a world-class clean that doesn’t cost our planet. Short for “Sustainable Rituals”, SURI recently topped The Independent’s list of Best Electric Toothbrushes in 2022, offering a sustainable electric toothbrush without compromising on performance, quality or design. Its innovative brush uses recyclable plant-based heads made from corn starch, with soft bristles made using castor oil.
The sleek aluminium body is light, durable and infinitely recyclable; it has also been designed in a repairable way, so it’ll last for longer in your bathroom, not in landfill. SURI has done away with all the gimmicky tech and Bluetooth apps so the brush is significantly slimmer than most electric toothbrushes — and the battery can last in excess of 30 days.

The cups have a ribbed tab for slip-free removal – all you need to do is hook the tip of your finger and gently pull the cup out. They’re made from 100 per cent medical-grade silicone and can offer up to eight hours of non-stop protection and can be used for two years.
