Plastic is a problem. The EPA estimates that 2 billion disposable razors  Sustain Shave are thrown away each year. This is an outstanding amount of waste and plastic pollution. The supply of this pollution is the demand for disposable razors around the world. The total disposable razor blade market is expected to reach 4.31 Billion USD by 2027.

Most solutions to the problem advocate the same solution: Stop using disposable plastic and use reusable razors and shaving supplies. These can include double edge shavers and or reusable handle razor systems. These eco solutions have been increasing in use across the United States and the world.

However, there are reasons why singular use disposable razors are sometimes necessary. The hospitality and medical industries need shaving supplies that can be sanitary and safely disposed. The majority of disposable razor use is from large companies such as hotels, tattoo shops, medspas, fitness clubs etc. This is why we have launched the Sustain Shave Club. Our goal is to create a disposable razor that is truly biodegradable.

The Sustain Shave Club™ is a monthly membership which includes the following:

10 partially biodegradable razors (35% Wheat Straw / 65% Plastic), 100% recycled and/or biodegradable packaging, carbon neutral shipping offsets per order, One Tree Planted per order, 100% recycled paper marketing materials and business cards, and recycled tape and packaging materials.

By supporting the Sustain Shave Club™, you are directly supporting investment and business development in the design and creation of fully biodegradable razors within ten years. Our goals include the reduction of plastic by 10% annually until the razor handle is made up of 100% compostable materials, besides the blade itself. The shaving blade section of the razor will always need to be recycled. Reducing the razor handle to 100% compostable could in theory reduce the plastic waste created from disposable razors by 92%. Sustain Shave Club™ hopes to reduce carbon shipping impacts by 1,000 KG of CO2 this year, plant 1,000 trees per month, and protect forested area by an estimated 500 m² this year.
