Zero waste just got easier with reusable cotton buds…
Not only do reusable cotton buds create less waste, they also save money. According to the WWF, cotton’s most prominent environmental impact is the result of use of agrochemicals, water consumption and the conversion of animal habitats for agricultural use. In fact, it takes 20,000 liters of water to produce 1 kilo of cotton. Besides that it cost more to keep using disposable cotton buds. For nearly the same price you can get a pack of reusable cotton buds that can last you for years. Most have an estimated lifespan of 5 years! With that said, it may be time to find a cheaper, safer, more sustainable option.
This option is silicone swabs. Silicone tips have the resilience to be cleaned thoroughly, enabling long-term use. In fact, there is no need to worry about them being sanitary. Silicone swabs are easy to clean with soap and are also dishwasher safe. They are soft, flexible, and come with a carrying case so you can keep them clean and take them anywhere. That leaves you with no excuses.
Reusable swabs are another fab, eco-friendly beauty swap worth trying. There are several options on the market. Give it a try and enjoy the good feeling of your contribution to a zero waste society.
