Every SURI has a beginning, middle & end! Our mission is to ensure there is a path for recycling or repairing all our products! Please see below information on how to recycle our products.
RECYCLING:
SURI Toothbrush Heads:
Every UK/US order comes with a compostable return mailer for you to send us your used heads to recycle. We ask that you collect at least 3 of them before posting them to reduce our carbon footprint. Note the mailer is pre-paid for the UK and the US and we will seek to expand this globally soon.
If you are not in the US or UK you can post back your heads to us at the below address in an envelope.

COMPOSTING HEADS
If you are unable to send back your heads to us you can look at industrially composting part of them. This will require a few steps:
1- Remove the bristles with pliers and dispose of them in your waste bin, as they are plant-based they will eventually break down into plant-based micro-particles (in a couple of years unlike petroleum-based alternatives). When you do this little metal clips will come out also, you can recycle these at home by bunching them in any spare aluminium foil you have.
2- Using your pliers carefully pull out the inner core of the toothbrush head, this is recyclable in your normal household stream.
3- The remaining shell of the head is made fully from cornstarch and can be sent to a local industrial composter.

The cotton lining can be placed in your home trash and will eventually biodegrade naturally. The zipper can be reused on other items or discarded if not possible.
SURI Packaging:
All of our packaging is recyclable, compostable, or reusable. Please see the instructions written on them for more information.REPAIRS:
Most electric toothbrushes are sealed shut and terrible for landfills (or worse, oceans) so we designed SURI in a modular way to be easily repairable or recyclable at end of its life. If your brush is under warranty we will fix it for free otherwise we will share a reasonable fee to repair it. Contact us at support@trysuri.com for more details.
