Product
What is LastSwab made from?
LastSwab's rod is made from polypropylene (PP) that's reinforced with glass fiber and the soft tip ends are produced using thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). The carry case is made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.
What is recycled ocean bound plastic?
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.
What's wrong with normal single-use cotton swabs?
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.
How many times can you reuse LastSwab?
LastSwab is carefully designed and rigorously tested to last upto 1,000 uses.
Is LastSwab Sanitary?
Yes, we developed LastSwab with health and hygiene in mind. You can easily clean LastSwab with a little water and soap or use a disinfectant, for example, rubbing alcohol to sanitize it.
Can I use LastSwab to clean a child's ear?
We advise you to use LastSwab Baby instead. LastSwab Baby is specially designed with child-safe ends that are perfect for cleaning areas around the ears, nose, and navel of your young ones.
Can I get allergies from using LastSwab?
LastSwab is completely latex free. For more information on allergenics, please contact us at hello@lastobject.com
Can I use LastSwab for nail polish removal, art projects or instrument cleaning?
You can generally use a LastSwab as you would use a single use swab. Just keep in mind that LastSwab isn't heat resistant.
How many singles-use q-tips must LastSwab replace to ensure a healthier environment?
It only takes 36 uses, which translates to just over a month of use, for LastSwab to be a better option than single-use q-tips in terms of carbon footprint. Lasting upto to 1,000 uses, it's easy to see why LastSwab is making such a big difference in the fight against the single-use epidemic.
Where is LastSwab manufactured?
LastSwab Basic is manufactured in Denmark.
Sustainability
Single-use products & alternatives
Single-use cotton swabs made of plastic or paper have a damaging impact on the environment. 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.
Lifecycle analysis & breaking even
LastSwab is 8.3 times better for the environment considering all 22 environmental impact categories. After just 35 uses you break even with CO2 emissions. If you use your swab once per day, this means it takes just a month to ensure a happier and healthier environment. To make that even better, water consumption is reduced by 92%.
Vegan & cruelty-free
LastSwab is completely vegan and we don't test on animals. By using reusable products, you ensure single-use products don't end up in nature to become food for the animals. So it's not just about avoiding products which are cruelty-free, but taking it further to completely replace these types of products with better and kinder options.
Recycled Ocean Bound Plastic
We work with recycled Ocean Bound Plastic in two ways. First of all, we collaborate with the organization Plastic For Change to remove 1lb of plastic with every single order. This means that tonnes of plastic waste is removed from nature just because you make a purchase. The other way is that we reuse some of this recycled plastic in our cases. This means we never have to use any virgin plastic, and every part of the process is circular.
