Stop The Blah!

When you look at the title, it looks like a very harsh, very slang, very meaningless title and you may understand, but of course it is not like that, this title is a scream of rebellion ... plastics are said to be like that of plastics by some masses, it is said that plastics pollute the environment like this ... Plastic industry and manufacturers It continues to produce valuable projects with a much more environmentally friendly and conscious point of view on sustainability and recycling than many environmentalists, and it continues unabated even under the conditions of this pandemic.

More than two billion disposable razors take their place in nature as waste each year. Of course, these razor blades, which take their place in nature, are not only made of plastic, but a plastic manufacturer who approaches this problem sensitively and spends effort, money and time. So why? Because he is aware of his responsibility for the future ...

Schick introduces the first disposable razor blade made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. It is also the only fully recyclable razor blade on the market and its packaging. Schick today announced the launch of the Xtreme 3 Eco Glide, the first single-use shaver made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic in the mass market. With more than two billion disposable razors falling to waste each year, the company realized that the time for bold change now was and took action. This is just one example of Schick's work to present Edgewell Personal Care's Sustainable 2030 Report to reduce plastic waste across the category. Edgewell (Shelton, CT) has a global portfolio of men's and women's disposable razors, including Schick Xtreme 3. Edgewell launched its new US program on March 9, 2021, to promote the recycling of disposable razors and offer an alternative. A Schick spokesperson said that as of January 2021, all Xtreme razor handles are made from recycled materials, including the Xtreme 3 Sensitive, Xtreme 3 DuoComfort, Xtreme 4 Outlast and Xtreme 5 Precision Trim. Used Schick Xtreme 3 shavers will be recycled through a third party, with consumers registering on Schick's website to download a prepaid UPS shipping label. Consumers can use any empty packaging to ship used razors to Schick. Schick's spokesperson explained that after the company collected a large enough pack of razors and razors, the products were sent to a reputable third party where razors would be cleaned and sterilized to remove residue such as shaving cream or hair. It announced that it was separated by materials such as blades and packaging, different types of plastics and rubbers on handles, cartridges and metal blades. Metals are separated by magnets or eddy currents, and plastic materials are separated by a combination of techniques, including sink / float and optical separation. Metals are melted and converted into alloys; plastics and elastomers are transformed into pellets, flakes or powder that can be sold as raw materials for production. Edgewell Responsible Anne-Sophie Gaget said that as a global leader in the personal care category with the reputable home brands and products our consumers use every day, we have a responsibility to minimize our environmental footprint. We are determined to use our brands as a force for good so that they can have a positive impact on society and our environment, and I am encouraged by the progress we have made so far. The recycling program and the use of PCR plastic in our disposable materials are a milestone in our sustainability journey.

How wonderful it would be to have this beautiful development in personal care products not only in the plastics industry, but in all sectors. Hoping that all sectors will be inspired by this project ...
