Part 4/7:
Plastic razors contribute substantially to landfill waste, taking upwards of 1,000 years to decompose. In contrast, investing in a safety razor is a sustainable and cost-effective option. With an initial investment of around $30 and low-cost double-edged blades, these razors can last for years, saving you both money and reducing waste.
Many brands now offer high-quality safety razors, making the transition away from plastic razors easier than ever. This small swap can have a meaningful impact on your ecological footprint.
4. Refillable Cleaning Products
Replacing conventional cleaning products with refillable alternatives is another excellent swap that can greatly reduce plastic waste. Each year, over 35.7 million tons of plastic waste are discarded in the U.S. alone.
