Preserve’s parent company, Recycline, was founded in 1996 by Eric Hudson. Hudson collaborated with dentists and industrial designers to design the Preserve toothbrush (the company's first product), which was launched in March 1997. The company's line has since expanded to include other products such as kitchen tools and tableware.Preserve razor handles are produced from recycled plastics, 65% of which come from yogurt containers. Preserve also produces and sells mixing bowls, cutting boards, measuring cups, food storage containers and colanders - all made from recycled materials.
