You may use them often or occasionally, cotton swabs. Cotton swabs are a small piece of cotton wool attached to a plastic stick. 3 Danish researchers went looking for the biggest culprit of plastic waste, which turned out to be the cotton swab. Bizarre, something so small that is one of the biggest causes of the plastic soup in the sea. The Danish researchers were very shocked by this and decided to look for a good and nice alternative, reusable cotton swabs. This is how the reusable and environmentally friendly cotton swabs were created!
Not dirty, but very handy
The 3 Danish researchers started a study on how to develop a cotton swab that you never, ever have to replace. Your first thought is probably "I don't want to use something like that again, I think it's dirty". This plastic cotton swab is definitely not dirty, because it has a silicone tip that you can easily wash and clean. Furthermore, this cotton swab comes with a storage case, made of biodegradable plastic.
Reusable and environmentally friendly cotton swabs replace standard disposable cotton swabs
People use a cotton swab for many different things. Whether it is to remove your earwax, to apply a certain ointment or another specific liquid or to touch up or remove your makeup . The trick is of course to come up with a product that is easy to use for all these situations and is an excellent replacement for the standard cotton swab. Two versions have been developed: the Beauty and the Basic.
This alternative is not only great for the environment, but also very easy to use. Simply clean your ears as you would with a standard disposable cotton swab. Then clean them thoroughly with soap and water. Finally, it is important to dry the cotton swab thoroughly and put it in the box.
