Why Nära products are better for the environment:

Our packaging
When you unbox your Nära package you will notice that there is no excessive packaging. We think it is important to reduce waste caused by excess packaging and is why every piece of our packaging is carefully considered and most importantly, is recyclable.
Why are cartridge razors bad?
Disposable cartridge razors are becoming a massive problem for the planet. The way in which modern disposable razors are made involve tightly integrating metal, plastic and rubber components into the razor handles and blade cartridges. Because of this, they are not easily recyclable and usually end up in landfills, taking hundreds of years to fully break down.
It is estimated that in 2018 over 3 billion* disposable razor blades and shavers were used in the U.S. by 149 million people. That’s an estimated weight of over 7,000 metric tonnes** of blades that are disposed of in a single year in the U.S. alone.
*Research data on disposable razor use shows that 3,044,160,000 disposable razors were used in the U.S. in 2018. Calculated by totaling the usage of disposable razor blades / shavers in 2018 with an assumed 9.75 uses per blade ** Standard razor weight used is 2.5 grams
A Nära safety razor is a better choice
The main reason why a Nära safety razor better than a disposable cartridge razor is because every aspect of shaving with Nära is sustainable. All of our products and packaging are recyclable, which means nothing will be sent to landfill. Our shave oils and shave soaps come in basic recyclable packaging. Our razor blades are fully recyclable when used with our blade bank. Even our razor handle is recyclable, when you eventually dispose of it, after years of use. Using a Nära safety razor really is the perfect eco-freindly shaving alternative.
