What about offering glamorous hairbrush handles in your catalogue that are also completely sustainable and recyclable?

Thanks to the newest material we have created, you can satisfy consumers’ requests for sustainability with cutting-edge and beautiful products inspired by the most recent trends in the home-design sector.

An innovative material for a hairbrush handle that reminds you of Venetian marble

The new Venetian Marble Grit material is made using a mix of recycled materials that you can easily see in the mixture. This unique finishing option gives a glamorous identity to each product, which is enhanced by a stylish “high gloss” surface.

This particular material brings to mind the amazing and elegant marble grit floors that you can see in ancient villas and the most sophisticated modern environments.  

Today, the marble effect is really sought after in modern architecture, and the Venetian floor is being rediscovered thanks to its prestige and versatility. It is considered the perfect solution for a classical-style environment, for more baroque designs, and also for the most essential ones.

The marble grit can give a special twist to even those minimalist designs that are prevalent in the furniture industry today.

In the same way, a hairbrush handle made with the Venetian Marble Grit material can have a new and inimitable character.

Besides being a very distinctive object, it can bridge the gap between:

  • the demanding requests of modern consumers, who are increasingly aware of problems linked to pollution and environmental exploitation
  • their need to buy customizable objects that they can display in their houses

Even a hairbrush can be considered a decorative element if perfectly designed and created with the most innovative materials and finishes.

“Circular economy” is a buzzword today: it is the idea of reusing materials, products, and components as much as possible to reduce humans’ impact on the planet.

The Venetian Marble Grit material for hairbrush handles is perfect in this regard, as it is made with recycled materials and is completely recyclable as well.

Why should you widen your catalogue with this new material?

The Venetian Marble Grit has many advantages to consider:

  • It is hypoallergenic thanks to the medical-grade material
  • It is resistant to possible damage caused by chemical agents, sweat, cleansers, cosmetics, perfumes, and salt water
  • It is 20% lighter than acetate, so the hairbrush is more comfortable and easier to use for hairstyling
  • It is resistant to the typical moisture of a bathroom
  • It is completely recyclable
  • It is resistant to heat, so there are no risks if it comes in contact with a hair straightener, a curling iron, or other hot objects
