Just making a few small changes in how we do things can make a huge difference to our planet. That's why Westcott® uses recycled material in the designs of our KleenEarth® products and packaging. The same quality standards are used in all our products whether we use new or recycled materials, so you can be sure this KleenEarth® product will live up to your expectations. Rice husks are a typically wasted byproduct of rice harvesting. These scissors use rice husk fibers combined with recycled materials to reduce the amount of polymers and plastics in this product.
