How To Compost My Reusable Makeup Remover Cotton Pads?

How To Compost My Reusable Makeup Remover Cotton Pads?

There are two major divisions in material: synthetic and natural fibre. Synthetics like polyester, nylon, microfiber fleeces will not decompose.

While natural fibres such as organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, pure wool, ramie, silk or any combination of them will compost over a sufficient amount of time.

One of the benefits of ecosophist reusable makeup remover pads is that they are made of natural fibres!!!

This means that not only will you have a period of 200-250 washes, zero-waste skincare and makeup routine but you can compost our reusable makeup removal pads or dispose of them guilt-free. But that’s the purpose of an ecosophist right?

A question we commonly get asked is how to dispose of your reusable makeup remover pads?

Below are some tips on how to compost your ecopads:

 

  • Make sure you use your reusable makeup rounds as much as you can: the whole idea about Use - Reuse - Reduce - Recycle is to use any product as much as you can and then try to find the way to use it for other purposes (recycle) or to make it disappear naturally (compost it).

  • Cut your ecopads: once you use your Reusable Makeup Rounds up to 250 times, start off by cutting into little pieces or just rip them into strands. The smaller the pieces, the faster they will break down in your compost pile/bin.

 

  • Add worms to your compost pile/bin: worms will be your best workers when composting your reusable cotton rounds. If you look after your ecopads and create a favourable environment, they will work tirelessly to eat your organic waste and produce compost.

 

As with every other object around your home from household items, to skincare products, clothes, etc… The best way to be an ecosophist is to make these items reusable and recyclable.

Have you finished with your face cream? Clean the container and find a way to reuse it, maybe to store your clean reusable makeup pads? Maybe to put your bamboo-cotton buds?

Remember “There is no such thing as ‘away’. When we throw anything away it must go somewhere.” Annie Leonard, Proponent of Sustainability

Are you an Ecosophist?

by Yuliana De La Cruz April 12, 2020

Simple, If you are conscious about the climate change crisis and know that small actions create a huge impact, 100% YOU ARE!

But let's start from the beginning, what is ecosophy?
It is a philosophical movement inspired by our living conditions on the planet. It was coined by the French post-structuralist philosopher Félix Guattari and the Norwegian father of deep ecology, Arne Næss.

For Guattari ecosophy represents: environmental, social, and mental. It is a way to understands and help human relationships within our own species and within nature.
