In the US, 2 billion disposable razors are trashed every single year while in the UK, hundreds of millions are also thrown out.

Biggest worry is  the materials they are made of ! Disposable razors are usually made of many different components which makes them very hard to recycle. The handle is often made up of plastic, and more often than not it contains rubber for easier and better grip. The head with metal blades embedded in a plastic cavity is hardest to segregate and recycling machinery aren't well equipped to dislodge metal from plastic, so the majority end up in landfills or contaminating our water systems.

We do not realise this damage we cause with our daily chores to environment ,but there is one solution a Safety razor !
