Q&A

What is recycled ocean bound plastic?

The vast majority of ocean plastic originates within 30 miles (50 kilometers) of the planet’s coastlines. Poor waste management within this 30-miles zone causes approximately 8 million metric tons of plastic to end up in oceans. Diverting and then recycling this excess of ocean-bound plastic, protects sea life and marine ecosystems and also goes a long way towards reducing inland plastic pollution as well. Our supplier is the first company in the world to receive Ocean-Bound Plastic certification, which was developed by Zero Plastic Oceans and audited by Control Union.

What’s wrong with normal single-use cotton swabs?

Single-use cotton swabs made of plastic or paper have a damaging impact on the environment. The average person goes through hundreds of single-use swabs per year. In addition to production and packaging, these cotton swabs must also go through warehousing and shipping only to be used and immediately discarded — sometimes within a matter or seconds. During this process, the use of raw materials and level of carbon emissions significantly impacts the planet and propels global warming, which ultimately accelerates climate change. Switching to reusable products like LastSwab plays a small but critical role in minimizing this environmental damage.

How does LastSwab Beauty work best?

LastSwab Beauty works best as a make-up accessory. Our cosmetics experts dip the end in make-up remover to take off excess mascara on their eyelids for the picture-perfect look.

Can I use LastSwab Beauty for nail polish removal, art projects or instrument cleaning?

You can generally use LastSwab Beauty in the same way you would your normal single-use q-tips. Just keep in mind that LastSwab Beauty isn’t heat resistant and you can’t use it with solvents such as acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover.

How many singles-use q-tips must LastSwab Beauty replace to ensure a healthier environment?

It only takes 36 uses, which translates to just over a month of use, for LastSwab Beauty to be a better option than single-use q-tips in terms of carbon footprint.
