LastSwab is not just another piece of plastic and two balls. The rod is made of glass fiber and polypropylene, a plastic that requires much less energy when manufactured and produces the lowest carbon dioxide emissions vs other plastics. The tips are medical grade TPE (rubber) and the case is made from Ocean Bound Plastic. So clean your ears, clean the oceans, and clean your conscience.

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.

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.
