En nuestro planeta tenemos actualmente muchos problemas medioambientales y desde hace tiempo cada vez son más las personas concienciadas con este problema y deciden actuar ante ello realizando pequeños cambios en su consumo de plástico. Como alternativa ecológica está en tendencia los cepillos de dientes de bambú, que es una planta fuerte, duradera y completamente ecológica, ya que es degradable.
Reduce la contaminación medioambiental utilizando los cepillos de dientes de bambú, nosotros te contamos sus ventajas y desventajas de utilizar estos cepillos de dientes a continuación:
Los cepillos de bambú se degradan biológicamente y los que son 100% eco-friendly se venden en cajas también degradables. Como ya hemos comentado los cepillos de bambú están hechos con materiales biodegradables, como las cerdas de carbón en lugar de plástico o nylon. Aunque, algunos tienen cabezas de nylon, así que si quieres que tu cepillo sea 100% eco deberás verificar que no tiene nylon.
Estas cerdas de carbón te ayudan a aclarar los dientes, desinfectan tu boca y son consideradas biodegradables. A diferencia de los cepillos de plástico, el bambú es un agente antibacteriano natural. El bambú tiene la propiedad de matar las bacterias que pueden penetrar en la superficie protegiendo así al cuerpo humano de las bacterias dañinas. Por eso, muchos productos como las tablas de cortar y los utensilios de cocina están hechos de madera y bambú.
Algunas empresas que venden cepillos de dientes de bambú lo venden con un envase de plástico. Si, aunque suene ilógico, algunas empresas lo hacen. Si tu objetivo es reducir la contaminación ambiental no tiene sentido que compres estos productos bio con un envase perjudicial para el medio ambiente. Cada vez existe mayor diversidad de precios en estos productos, aún así está claro que son más caros que un cepillo de dientes de plástico.
Los cepillos de dientes de bambú contienen varios compuestos de nylon a base de petróleo y materiales plásticos que no pueden ser separados por la tecnología de reciclaje actual. Es por ello que para que fuera totalmente eco-friendly debería de tener el bambú de tipo Phyllostachys edulis. Se trata de una variedad que crece en los bosques de Ningbo y debido a que está en la parte alta los osos no llegan por lo que no les sirve como alimento. En cambio el bambú sí que es un alimento para estos animales por lo que la excesiva tala de estos árboles afectaría al ecosistema del oso panda.
Para verificar el tipo de cerda comprada debes prestar atención a las instrucciones del embalaje. Si dice que es necesario quitar las cerdas antes de reciclarlo puede ser que sea porque es de nylon o de otras propiedades plásticas.
Otro detalle a tener en cuenta son los tipos que existen de estos cepillos eco-friendly, que son diversos. Aquí te traemos algunos de los más comunes:
Es fácil comprobar que esta tendencia está cada vez más presente y que personas de todo el mundo eligen los cepillos de dientes de bambú. Tienen el mismo efecto que los cepillos de dientes convencionales y además ayudan al medio ambiente.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
