Recycline, Inc. introduces Preserve, an environmentally friendly toothbrush that encourages the user to recycle replaced toothbrushes.

- Made of recycled plastics, Preserve toothbrushes can also be returned in a postage-paid mailer to Recycline, the manufacturer, after it has been replaced.

- The company reports that Preserve`s polypropylene handle and nylon bristles "combine to make an extremely effective feed material for recycled plastic lumber products."

- The company notes that, at replacement rates of twice a year, toothbrushes represent more than 100 million pounds of plastic waste in the United States.

- For more information, contact Recyline, (888) 354-7296.
