Bite started with two questions: Why does toothpaste come in plastic tubes and what exactly are we putting in our bodies when we brush our teeth? At the heart of Bite, they wanted to do better. That means asking themselves, every day, how they can improve. Whether it’s mindlessly tossing out an empty toothpaste tube or glossing over the ingredients list, small daily actions can shape the future of our planet. By uncovering how we can be better to ourselves and to the earth, we are one step closer to a healthier and plastic-free world. 

More than 1 billion plastic toothpaste tubes are thrown out each year, with harsh chemical residues. More than 100 million animals suffer and die in the U.S. every year in cruel chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics tests. Every year, more than 50 Empire State Buildings worth of toothpaste tubes end up in landfills or oceans. 

Lindsay McCormick set out to change that. Starting a world changing business out of a living room definitely wasn't easy, but it was necessary. "Bite was founded on the belief that a brighter smile doesn’t need to come at the expense of our bodies or the environment. Our daily habits matter, and the small changes we make together can add up to something big."
