Globally, about 20 billion toothpaste tubes get tossed every year—and most traditional tubes don’t get recycled because they’re made with mixed materials (plastic aluminum layers). So today I’m choosing a toothpaste in a recyclable bottle instead of a tube. Small swap, same clean teeth, less packaging headache. ♻️ Pro tip: If you’re sticking with tubes, check the label your local rules—recyclable “HDPE” tubes are becoming more common, but they’re not accepted everywhere yet. #momlife #reducewast
