Today’s Solutions: November 25, 2024

People around the world lose hair ties on a daily basis. It happens to the best of us, but the problem is most of these end up in the trash or litter the environment which is why a couple from Canada founded a company by the name of Kooshoo that makes hair ties that are completely biodegradable.

The hair ties only contain two ingredients: natural rubber and cotton. This includes the thread used to keep the ties together. The dying and manufacturing process of these ties are also done in a careful, sustainable manner.

Best of all, Kooshoo donates portions of its profits to charitable causes, such as an establishment that provides marginalized communities access to meditation courses and yoga classes. Given that more than 20,000 pounds of hair-related products end up in the trash each day, Kooshoo’s mission is a vital one that can help us preserve the planet!
