DO THE FLOSS<br />
Avoiding plastic isn’t easy if you look<br />
to traditional ways of keeping your<br />
teeth sparkling. Fortunately, Kiwi<br />
brand Grin Natural is one company<br />
looking at alternatives, and the latest<br />
is dental flosses with handles made<br />
from non-GMO cornstarch that are<br />
biodegradable. The cardboard container<br />
can be restacked with another 45 pack,<br />
itself wrapped in eco-paper. Get the<br />
next generation in on the act with the<br />
kids packs that have a smaller floss<br />
head and easy grip handles. Available in<br />
supermarkets nationwide.<br />
PACKAGING PLUS<br />
In the beauty world, we tend to get<br />
lumped with a lot of superfluous<br />
packaging, but, fortunately, there<br />
are several brands doing more<br />
than just fixing their ingredients.<br />
Floral Street is a British perfume<br />
brand that presents its scents in<br />
recyclable, biodegradable boxes.<br />
The carton fits the bottle snugly<br />
in a cocoon of sustainability. From<br />
wet pulp to finished box takes just<br />
one minute of manufacturing, with<br />
waste water cleaned and recycled<br />
and waste pulp composted at<br />
local farms. What a great start to<br />
smelling good. meccabeauty.co.nz
