Isnt it counterintuitive that many eco-friendly shaving products, touted for reducing waste, often come packaged in bioplastics or recyclable materials that may not actually be recyclable in most municipal facilities? And what about the fact that some refillable razor systems still rely on single-use cartridges or blades?
It seems to me that the shaving industrys approach to sustainability is more about marketing than actual environmental stewardship. So, what are some genuine ways to reduce waste when buying shaving products? Are there any brands or products that have successfully implemented closed-loop systems or truly sustainable packaging solutions? Or are we, as consumers, better off opting for traditional safety razors or straight razors, which, although more expensive upfront, can last a lifetime with proper maintenance?
