Q: What’s the origin story behind Change Toothpaste?
A: In 2019 Edmonton-based startup Change Toothpaste officially launched its zero-waste, all-natural alternative to traditional toothpaste. Inspired by founder Mike
Medicoff’s sixteen-year-old daughter Sydney, who set out to make her family’s home as close to zero-waste as possible, Change Toothpaste offers an innovative solution for an increasingly dire problem. Each year, more than 900 million toothpaste tubes around the world are added to landfills and oceans. Standard tubes cannot be recycled and are made up of 11 layers of plastics, polymers and resins, which take over 500 years to break down.
