Disposable razors are made of a mixture of plastic and metal, meaning they’re costly and difficult to recycle effectively, so they end up clogging up landfill instead.
In fact, over 2 billion of the things are thrown away every year. And it's not just the razor itself that can't be recycled; replacement blades are also encased in plastic, meaning they’re difficult to recycle too.
Many people today are becoming more environmentally conscious when it comes to the products they use on a daily basis. When it comes to shaving, buying disposable plastic razors is not very eco-friendly. Double edged razor blades are an alternative way to shave that is safe, inexpensive and environmentally friendly.
