What’s wrong with regular ear buds?
Billions of cotton swabs, buds and Q-tips are used and thrown away each year. Many of them are flushed down the toilet, and can end up in our oceans and beaches. Because of their small size, they can pass through sewage systems.
What can we do?
Cotton and paper ones are biodegradable and compostable. But don’t forget it is really important to compost them. If you can’t it’s better to choose reusable! You can wash them, clean them and reuse as many times as you want, zero-waste.
