Next month the ban on the supply of traditional cotton buds in England, announced by Michael Gove last year, will come into force.
And not before time too … the UK uses more plastic cotton buds than any other European country – a staggering 13.2bn a year worldwide are used ? Around 10 per cent are flushed down toilets, ending up in waterways and oceans, adding to the 150 million-plus tonnes of plastic in the world’s oceans.
We all love cotton buds because they’re super-handy, but If you want to clean your ears without a side order of guilt, try Hydrophil Bamboo Cotton Swabs, made from biodegradable bamboo and soft cotton.
After usage, you can dispose of the cotton buds in your organic waste or compost, and the packaging is made of recycled cardboard. They are water-neutral, organic and vegan friendly.
Our tester loved them.
Hydrophil Bamboo Cotton Swabs are great at getting the job done (always be careful with those ears), excellent quality for the price and provide a tremendous sense of satisfaction knowing that your reducing waste.
Small change … big impact.
Do your bit to keep the planet safe!
Highly recommended – 5* from us at Whatsnewhealthandbeautyreviews
