In Mexico City, a trio of designers has created a biodegradable razor made from partially renewable plastics. Dubbed Oquari, the razor is made with PBS Bionelle biodegradable plastic, although the team behind it encourages reuse by making it easy to swap in new stainless steel blades.
“Because our handle is reusable, raw material production and manufacturing costs are reduced. Likewise, waste decreases and benefits other industries by recycling discarded blades,” the designers tell Yanko Design. “A sustainable lifestyle shouldn’t be a status symbol but rather an accessible choice so we can create a larger impact much faster.”
