Activities

 

The ALTHODE company provides, through its new activity SEMENTIS inaugurated in December 2022 (see www.sementis.fr) its industrial tool for the manufacture of ecological toothbrushes.

We are now equipped with a tool capable of reducing the importation of plastic toothbrushes from Asia into France with the help of an industrial machine with a high production capacity located near Angers (49). We can design and manufacture wooden toothbrushes coming from French eco-managed forests, half toothbrushes for electric toothbrushes, small brush heads for rechargeable toothbrushes. We work with injector partners capable of working with recycled, recyclable and/or bio-sourced plastics.

SEMENTIS, in Latin, means “Sowing seeds” and this is what we want to do, in our own way and on our market: bathroom objects and accessories. Sowing seeds to be more economical with resources, to work locally and to generate as little waste as possible.
