In-Depth Review
Ending the Era of Single-Use Waste
LastObject is a Danish company on a mission to eliminate single-use items. Their LastRound product is a sustainable alternative to the trillions of cotton rounds thrown away every year. Each round is made from a shape-shifting fabric that feels just like a regular cotton pad when moistened, but offers far superior durability and environmental credentials.
Innovative Material Science
Each LastRound is made of 70% Scandinavian wood fibers and 30% short cotton fibers that are discarded by the textile industry. This blend is processed in a closed-loop system, ensuring that water and chemicals are reused rather than dumped. The rounds are rigid when dry but become incredibly soft and absorbent when they come into contact with water, toner, or micellar water.
| Material | Source |
|---|---|
| Wood Cellulose | Sustainably managed Nordic forests |
| Cotton Fibers | Textile industry waste (upcycled) |
| Case | Ocean-bound plastic (recycled) |
The product comes with a sleek, bio-based case made from recycled ocean-bound plastic. It is designed for hygiene and convenience, allowing you to store and dry your rounds easily. Cleaning is simple: just wash with soap and water after use, or toss them into a laundry bag and wash at 60°C (140°F). They are built to withstand hundreds of machine cycles without fraying.
- 100% biodegradable and compostable
- Case made from recycled ocean plastic
- Machine washable up to 250 times per round
- Carbon neutral production process
