Why It’s Time to Rethink Your Razor: The Environmental Cost of Plastic Shaving

Most of us don’t think twice about the razors in our bathrooms. But behind those plastic handles and shiny blades lies a growing environmental crisis.

Every year, over 2 billion plastic razors are thrown away in the U.S. alone. Globally, it’s billions more. And the problem? These razors don’t get recycled. Instead, they sit in landfills for centuries, breaking down into microplastics that infiltrate our oceans, our soil, and even our bodies.

If we stay on this path, plastic waste is expected to triple by 2060. That’s not just unsustainable, it’s irreversible.

The Hidden Truth Inside Your Razor

What’s really in a typical disposable razor?

A blend of fossil-based plastic and metal, fused in a way that makes recycling nearly impossible.
A gel strip full of synthetic chemicals like PEGs, linked to skin irritation and long-term health concernsRazeco tone of voice , ….
A product designed for convenience, not consequence.

Most razors aren’t built to last. They’re built to be tossed.

And when they're incinerated? They release significant CO₂ emissions, further contributing to the climate crisis.
