Goodbye Petroleum Plastics,
Hello Quick-Composting Paper.
Happi Floss is on a mission to replace single-use plastics and we’re starting with flossers. Made with layers of post-consumer recycled paper, Happi Floss is designed to decompose quickly in the compost or soil, unlike our plastic counterparts that can take 400+ years to decompose, if ever.
Created by Doctor Staci, a functional and holistic pediatric dentist, Happi Floss is a woman-founded, owned, and operated company. Our flossers are locally made in a fair-wage shop near Portland, Oregon with renewable energy. Happi Floss is toxin-free and cruelty free, and our two sizes accommodate mouths of all shapes and sizes.
To date, Doctor Staci has self-funded Happi Floss through research and development, testing product with friends and family to come up with the final iteration that you see today. With 5,000 flossers customer tested to date, positive feedback continues to arrive daily as the Happi Floss team focuses on building the machinery needed create our first batch of one million sustainable flossers. Patents are secured and Happi Floss is ready to go mainstream, and we are currently seeking investors to help us achieve our growth goals.
Environmentally damaging plastics can be replaced and Happi Floss is just the beginning. With your help we can create a better future.

As Seen On Shark Tank

A Happi Story
For Doctor Staci, seeing plastic flossers wash ashore hit too close to home.
The idea for Happi Floss came to Doctor Staci as she witnessed a shocking amount of trash washing ashore while walking a beach in Hawaii. It’s an all too common experience many of us share - escaping into nature only to discover it’s been overrun with plastic waste.
For Doctor Staci, seeing plastic flossers wash ashore hit too close to home. As a pediatric dentist, she regularly heard from parents that although they loved the convenience of plastic floss picks for their children, they often would skip flossing altogether due to the guilt they felt using single-use plastic.
After years of testing materials and manufacturing techniques, Happi Floss was born. Intelligently designed to keep their shape in your mouth, yet compost quickly, Happi Floss is composed of layers of compressed, post-consumer recycled paper and biofilm, a plant-based, non petroleum material. When placed in the compost, our layered design allows moisture and microbes to permeate our flossers, quickly breaking them down and turning them back into usable organic matter.
With design complete and thousands of sample flossers distributed, the Happi Floss story is really just beginning. With a successful Indiegogo campaign completed, Happi Floss now turns to increasing manufacturing capabilities in order to rid the world of single-use plastic flossers. Sustainability-minded Investors looking to help change the world are encouraged to contact Happi Floss to learn more about early investment opportunities.
