Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

What are the bristles made of?
Depends. You'll need to check the package.
Only a few of them are 100% biodegradable, with bristles made from animal hair, vegetable oil or straw.
Most of the bamboo toothbrushes have bristles made from recycled nylon, so those aren't 100 biodegradable, but they are still produced a lot more environmentally friendly than plastic toothbrushes.
