Disposable razors are very popular these days, but also caused many plastic and rubber pollution to the globe.

Today’s disposable razors are mainly made of hips or hips and tpr combined handles, with ABS and stainless steel bladed razor head.  When consumers believe the blade getting dull, they will dispose of the whole razor. And very possible the razor will be discarded to the field.

Are these new disposable razors recyclable?  Well, yes and no. The plastic is technically a recyclable material, but when it has a metal blade attached, it becomes a mixed commodity and  it’s not separated before the recycling process begins. The plastic will not easily degradable in the earth, though the stainless can rot.

It’s very costly and virtually impossible to separate some commodities in order for them to be recycled. In these cases, items end up in the landfill.

According to some authority status, 2 billion razors are thrown away each year, and many of them are not recycled very decently.

The data also states that 32 percent of plastic products end up in the ocean. To put this into perspective, and this really make ecology in a very bad situation.
Considering that the average person shaves 2-3 times per week and a disposable razor lasts for approximately 10 shaves, each person who shaves with disposable razors replaces them about every 5 or 6 weeks. Multiply those numbers by each person of shaving age and several hundred thousand disposable razors get used each year and, most likely, get thrown away.

Some smaller recycling centers can accept disposable razors but some cannot.   In this way , a degradable plastic need be introduced to the disposable razor industry and thus protect the environment.
