Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification enables the identification of wood and paper made with materials from responsibly-managed forests. From TANDEX, the WOODI interdental brush has a handle made from FSC-certified birchwood - the box is fully recyclable too!

TANDEX has long supported environmental concerns. To find out more about this, and the WOODI, visit https://tandex.dk/.
