This is tough because I use a rechargable electric toothbrush most of the time. However, I bought a Radius toothbrush from Grove Collaborative, which has a handle of post-consumer materials like wood, paper and dollar bills. The brush heads can be replaced. What I think really needs to change is the dentistry field. When dentists give out free plastic toothbrushes to patients twice a year, that's generating tons of plastic. I did speak with my dentist about that at my recent appointment and did not take a plastic toothbrush at my visit.
I would implore others by talking about what an unnecessary waste plastic toothbrushes create. Yes, they're free to you, but they create a huge amount of waste.
