That there are no limitations to the sustainable swaps you can make on your home shelves is something we realised on coming across Denttabs. Founded in Berlin, the bite-sized  tablets arrived in India only recently and are being hailed as a vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly replacement to the good ol’ toothpaste tube. Using it is fairly simple: bite, chew into a paste and brush.

The tablets claim to prevent decay and revitalise aching tooth necks. Our pack arrived with a reusable jar meant to lock out any moisture, along with a cutesy bamboo toothbrush. The tablets were packaged in fully compostable bags which can be disposed of with organic waste. The bags are made using cornstarch coated paper and carry the official compost certification.
