Recycling disposable razors and their packaging is now more accessible than ever through Wasteless Pantry’s partnership with Terracycle. This initiative allows you to dispose of any brand of used razor blades and their packaging responsibly, contributing to significant environmental benefits.

What Can Be Recycled?

• All brands of blades and razors, including refillable and disposable products, as well as replaceable-blade cartridge units.
• Rigid and flexible plastic packaging associated with these products.

Recycling Process: Once collected, these items are sent to Terracycle where the razors and packaging are separated by material type. Plastics are cleaned and pelletized to be recycled into new products, while metal components are smelted and converted into new alloys. This process ensures that these materials are reused in manufacturing, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimizing waste.

Sustainable Alternatives: For those looking to reduce their environmental impact further, Wasteless Pantry offers reusable razors available both in-store and online. Additionally, consider switching to an electric razor or epilator for a long-term hair removal solution that minimizes waste over time. These devices can serve for many years and eventually be recycled as e-waste.
