A vegan floss that swaps silk for woven nylon. The coating oils are organic; the strand itself is a petroleum polymer that sheds between your teeth.

Little plastic

Microplastic shedding and leaching
Sheds a lot
A woven nylon strand worked between teeth sheds synthetic fibers in use
End of life: persistence and recovery
Persists somewhat

Plastic-derived chemicals of concern
Low concern
No PFAS, PTFE, BPA, or other leaching plastics in food or heat contact.

Trade-offs
