Benefits:
🌱 Reduced waste: The moment you stop using plastic razors, disposable cotton buds and plastic toothbrushes, you will be contributing less to the plastic that ends up in landfills and kills marine life. And of course, no more plastic packaging will be ending up in landfills either.
🌱 Better shave & easier to clean: The eco friendly safety razor has a single blade that gives a closer shave and is great for sensitive skin. Plus, no more hairs stuck in your razor with this one - just twist the bottom of the handle to loosen or open up the butterfly head and run some water through it - done.
🌱 Money saved: The items in this eco friendly bathroom kit will last you for years to come: imagine how much money you will save in the long term by not having to re-purchase the disposable alternatives over and over again! Also, by getting the kit instead of the individual items you will be getting a much better deal on the products AND you will be saving on shipping costs and CO2 emissions.
🌱 No nasty chemicals are used when growing bamboo: Pesticides aren't used as they are naturally resistant to insects. This means they are better for you and don't end up polluting the sea, water systems and soil when they are thrown away.
🌱 Zero-waste & eco-friendly: Completely recyclable and plastic free.
🌱 Plastic free packaging

End of life
Safety razor: The razor should last you a really long time if you take care of it, it's not uncommon for safety razors to be passed onto next generations! If yours doesn't make it that long, you can easily recycle it with metal recycling.
Replacement razor blades: Old replacement blades can also be recycled with metal recycling. Where possible, put old blades inside cans you are also recycling to avoid the risk of someone accidentally hurting themselves.
Synthetic shaving brush: If possible, re-purpose it! They would be perfect for dusting off computer monitors and keyboards, for example. The handle can be recycled with wood or repurposed. The synthetic hair is made of nylon and should be trimmed and recycled with plastics.
Linen pouch: Linen is a durable material and any small holes that develop over time can generally be mended fairly easily. If it cannot be mended, recycle with textiles.
Eco soap dish: This eco soap dish should last you a very long time and can be easily repurposed. If you decide to dispose of it for any reason, you can recycle it with wood. Please remove the grip pads from the bottom and recycle these separately with mixed recycling.
Bamboo cotton buds: Once you are done using your bamboo cotton swabs, you can dispose of them by popping them into your organic waste or compost. The kraft paper packaging can be thrown into your paper recycling or repurposed.
Bamboo comb: When your eco friendly comb has reached the end of its life, you can simply dispose of it by placing it in your compost bin as it is 100% natural and biodegradable.
Sustainable toothbrushes: Separate the nylon bristles from the handle using pliers and dispose of them with household waste. Then dispose of the handle in the compost or organic recycling.
Packaging: Your kit is posted in a Naturebox®, an eco-friendly, compostable box made from 35% domestic grass and 65% waste paper. Dispose of it in your compost bin or organic recycling.
