Reviews of Original Toothbrush
Not entirely sustainable
While it's great that the handle is made from natural cellulose, the case is made from virgin plastic. The company claims that it is recyclable, but since most areas will not accept a case like that for recycling, for practical purposes it is not recyclable. Just because an item has a recycling code does not mean it can be recycled.
This company has looked into accepting the toothbrushes back for recycling and decided against it. I prefer the Preserve toothbrush from Recycline (http://www.recycline.com) which is not only made from post-consumer recycled plastic, but can also be sent back to the manufacturer to be recycled further. Recycline has come closer than any other toothbrush maker that I've found to closing the recycling loop.

Eco Ergo Toothbrush
The Radius original toothbrush has the coolest design I've seen and felt. The materials are all sustainable, and while it's expensive I am taking better care of my brush so it lasts longer. I figure I'll use it as art when I'm done!
