After reading this post’s title most are thinking, “that
doesn’t sound remotely appealing.” But the people over at Preserve make a recycled razor.
Now the handle is made from 100% recycled number 5 plastic. The blades
themselves are new. The handle is said to last a lifetime but like most of
their products they will take it back and recycle it into something new.
As far as function: Well, it’s a razor. There really isn’t
anything different in the way it works than other razors you can buy at the
store. But remember, store-bought razors, especially disposable, are not
recyclable. So this is a step in the right direction. My Whole Foods has a bin
where you can drop off your number 5 plastics and Preserve picks them up to
make their products. Sounds like a smart business model there.
A greener option would be switching to a straight razor but
I am not quite ready for that big of a step just yet. In the meantime I recommend
picking one up or ordering one.
