The EPA estimates that 2 billion razors are thrown away each year in the United States alone (1). This is an old stat too so it’s likely to have increased with our population and the disposable options now available. Other than the blades in some countries & facilities, razors aren’t recycled and end up in landfill. And that doesn’t even account for the plastic packaging they all come in.

By purchasing this product you are also reducing major plastic waste, supporting our education and research across the world, providing jobs to vulnerable women in Cambodia in our own little product centre, and helping to support environmentalism & education to kids and communities in Cambodia.

Fabric
Our produce bags are made from 100% pure, sustainable hemp from a small farm in Thailand. Hemp is the most eco-friendly fabric and we do not blend it with cottons or nylon.

Drawstring
The drawstring of the bag is made from 100% hemp twine from the same place in Thailand. It is twisted at our small, ethical sewing centre to make the cord.

Label
Our labels are made from the off-cuts we save whilst cutting our products. This helps us reduce waste as much as possible and makes the labels 100% pure hemp.

Included in this item is:

Your selection of produce bags
1 x eco-friendly product package

Make sure you wash out your razor after each session and give it a good wash when swapping out blades. Simply screw it open, rinse out and replace the blade. You’re set!
