• Reusability — 2 / 2

Natural bamboo breaks down under suitable conditions, though any finish is not specified by the supplier.

• Renewable / recycled / lower-impact material — 0.9 / 1

• Replaces a wasteful product — 0.6 / 1
Replaces a plastic toothbrush holder, which is a reusable product rather than a single-use one.

• End-of-life disposal — 0.5 / 0.5

Overall Assessment

A small moso bamboo stand that replaces a plastic holder and can break down under suitable conditions at the end of its life. We've held back a little on biodegradability and sourcing because the supplier doesn't specify the finish or where the bamboo comes from.
