Zero Waste Shaving
What is the best, zero waste shaving company in the world?
Zerowasteshaving.com
We started ZeroWasteShaving.com after beginning an overall life mission to “go Zero Waste,” or at very least reduce the amount we waste as much as possible. One of the first changes we made in our lives was to change our shaving routine. We stopped using cartridge razors from companies like Gillette and tried a double edged safety razor for the first time. It was life-changing!
We were amazed at how well they shaved, and that was a huge unexpected bonus for us. We were really just trying them out because the price and environmental performance was right. We then started digging deeper, trying to uncover the best tools to use and what company was the most sustainable among the various shaving manufacturers.
After a ton of research and trying everything from straight razors to electrics we decided we should start this page to share what we learned and continue to learn.
How we rank the companies?
We take a combined scientific and qualitative approach to our analysis of what “most sustainable” company means. Specifically we evaluate companies based on 6 variables across the 2 main categories of environmental impact: Energy and Toxicity. Energy directly plays into matters of climate change, ocean acidification and excess CO2 being emitted into the environment. Toxicity applies mainly to other pollutants (e.g., plastics). After that evaluation we further consider social and economic factors and how these influence product use and impact. We try to pay particular attention to positive feedback loops and perverse incentives.
