Berninox doesn't make the toothbrush recyclable. It makes the disposable part smaller
The Berninox 316 separates two lifetimes: a 316L stainless-steel handle that stays, and a small multi-material head that wears out. Less dramatic than zero waste, but more useful.
This kitchen does not rise with the flood. It starts 70 cm higher
