Sustainable Material Answers™ Circular Economy As climate change continues to be one of the defining issues of our time, a commitment to sustainable solutions is essential—now more than ever. Defining circular According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a circular economy is one that is “restorative and regenerative by design.” This graphic shows the difference between a circular economy and a linear one.

Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear and opaque resins, the team had to explore two different avenues—one that preserved clarity and one that retained opacity.

This one-in-one process involves no water, making it a more sustainable dyeing process.
