Dental care products developer Plus Ultra has signed a distribution agreement with Patterson Dental.
Plus Ultra's line of products are made from biodegradable and compostable bamboo materials and recyclable aluminum tubes, with the goal of not contributing to the 50 million pounds of plastic toothbrush waste that end up in landfills every year, the company said.
