When applied to crystalized tourmaline, that mineral constantly releases the same healthful negative ions you breathe in near a waterfall or after a spring rain.” Beautiful, healthy and helps us to reduce our waste, Live Vessel products are thoughtfully sustainable gifts.

Albatross Designs
Albatross Designs has been in the safety razor business for a while now. With the Albatross Blade Take Back Program, they have upcycled old razor blades into new products! Albatross is officially unveiling their new product line of durable and reusable stainless steel utensils for the very first time here on The Zero Waste Collective! They will officially be available to order as of November 23, 2019.
The Albatross Blade Take Back Program started because not all municipal recycling companies will accept used razor blades. This program fills that gap and supports the circular economy model of cradle-to-cradle, instead of cradle-to-grave. So be sure to mail back your used safety razor blades to Albatross Designs! All the details are on their website.
