Compostable Handle Safety Razor Blades

The zero-waste champion. Features a 100% bio-based compostable handle and a traditional steel blade system for a truly circular grooming experience.

Product Introduction

Redefining personal care with circular economy principles

The Compostable Handle Safety Razor represents the ultimate pinnacle of the "Circular Grooming" movement. While many razors claim sustainability, this model is specifically engineered to leave zero trace behind. The handle is manufactured using 100% PLA (Polylactic Acid) or specialized PBAT/Starch resins derived from renewable cornstarch or sugarcane. For 30 years, our facility has been at the forefront of injection molding, and we have perfected the precise temperature control required to mold these sensitive biopolymers into a durable, high-performance shaving tool. Unlike standard plastics, these handles are designed to break down in industrial composting facilities, returning to the earth as organic matter within months of disposal.

Technically, the razor is designed as a Single-Edge or Double-Edge System to maximize its eco-efficiency. By utilizing standard safety blades, we eliminate the need for complex plastic-and-metal cartridges that are impossible to recycle. The head mechanism is built with a reinforced core to ensure the compostable material can withstand the mechanical stress of blade changes. The handle features an Organic Wave Texture for grip, achieved through the mold design rather than adding non-compostable rubber. For B2B partners, this product is the "Holy Grail" of sustainability, allowing you to market a "Zero-Waste" shaving solution that meets the strictest environmental mandates and appeals to the most hardcore eco-conscious consumers in the EU and North American markets.

For specialized zero-waste boutiques and premium sustainable brands, our Compostable Handle series is a flagship SKU. We provide full certification of the compostability standards (EN 13432 / ASTM D6400) and offer a range of natural, plant-based pigments for branding. Our 30-year legacy in Ningbo ensures that while the material is revolutionary, the shaving geometry is proven, providing a close, traditional shave that customers love. By choosing our Compostable Handle Safety Razor, you are positioning your brand at the absolute frontier of environmental innovation.

"Zero trace, total performance. A 100% plant-based compostable handle paired with classic steel blades for the world's most sustainable shave."

Technical Details & Safety

Biopolymer Engineering

We use a High-Heat PLA formulation that increases the material’s thermal stability, ensuring the handle doesn't soften in hot bathroom environments.

  • Degradation Testing: Verified breakdown within 180 days in compost.
  • Injection Stability: Specialized molds for bio-resins prevent brittleness.
  • Load Testing: Handle resists 10kg of lateral force for user safety.

Sustainability Guide

  • Keep the handle dry between uses to maximize its service life.
  • When disposing, place the handle in an industrial compost bin.
  • Blades must be removed and recycled in a dedicated metal bin.
  • Do not leave in direct sunlight for long periods as it is a bio-material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and "bio-plastic"?
This is 100% compostable PLA, which differs from "bio-plastic" that may still contain non-degradable petroleum polymers.
Will it start decomposing in my bathroom?
No, decomposition requires the high heat and microbial activity found only in industrial composting facilities.
Is the handle as strong as a normal razor?
It is very strong, though slightly more brittle than standard plastic if dropped from great heights onto tile.
Can I boil it to sanitize it?
No, as a compostable biopolymer, it will soften at temperatures above 60°C. Warm water is sufficient.
What is the MOQ for a compostable order?
The MOQ for 100% compostable handles is 20,000 units due to specialized material sourcing.
Does it take any standard safety blade?
Yes, our design is compatible with all universal double-edge (DE) safety blades.
How do you color these handles?
We use 100% bio-based pigments derived from mineral and plant sources.
Does it have an expiration date?
If kept dry, it has a shelf life of over 3 years. It only begins to break down in a compost environment.
Are you certified for composting?
Our material suppliers hold TUV AUSTRIA and BPI compostable certifications.
Is this more expensive than plastic?
Yes, the raw material cost for 100% PLA is approximately 3-4 times higher than virgin PP.
