Silicone cotton swab

The silicone cotton swab replaces the disposable cotton swab. Its shape is identical as is its use.

The base of the silicone cotton swab is made of polypropylene. Polypropylene is made from thermoplastic polymer (petroleum derivatives). The tip of the cotton swab is made of silicone, also made of polypropylene.

The silicone cotton swab is used to remove earwax from the ear. The silicone models have tips to be able to catch the earwax. The washable cotton swab is regularly sold so a plastic box 3 times too big.

Ecological to the end!

The silicone cotton swab is made from recyclable plastic. Only we are still on plastic. Did you know that recyclable plastic is not recycled forever? And yes, after a certain number of times recycled, the plastic is thrown away.

Why not choose silicone cotton swab?

Simply that all silicone cotton swabs are made in China. By buying a silicone cotton swab you think you are reducing waste, indeed! But you are not going to reduce the carbon footprint.

Choose local producers, French manufacturing. You have a better chance of knowing the real composition and you know the origin.

When you buy a silicone cotton swab, it often comes in a plastic box. What is the use of this? None because this box is made of plastic and the silicone cotton swab is washable. You just need to place it on the edge of the lever after use.

Silicone cotton swabs still represent too much plastic that will be thrown away.

Little advice

I therefore advise you to use a recyclable and washable cotton swab. You will find it more easily under the name of ear cleaner, auriculi or oriculi.

Caliquo to think about recycling the product. We use beech wood to make our 100% reusable, recyclable, and natural ear cleaner.

The advantage of using natural is that you can find it in nature! But you can also replant it! Of course, you cut down trees, but it's easier to replant a tree than to try to grow plastic.
