As an alternative to metal and metal inserts, high-density plastic materials with customizable specific gravity, which can range from 1.5 to 11, can be used for weighting and balancing. DESIGN STRATEGIES Figure 24: Applying an ecodesign approach Panel 1 summarizes application of ecodesign to the toothbrush. As shown in Panel 4, the body and handle are reusable to reduce waste, and the bristles are attached to a small modular component that can be replaced as needed.

Two-shot molds and insert molds can also be used. Advancing cores are used usually when ejecting large internal undercuts. This will help to prevent flashing from occurring behind slides or inserts.
