LastObject
LastObject's mission is reducing disposable waste, not eliminating plastic, and that distinction matters here. Its products are durable silicone and plastic reusables - the LastSwab tip is medical-grade silicone on a plastic rod in a recycled-plastic case. That makes them a legitimate way to avoid thousands of disposable swabs, but not plastic-free and not compostable. We treat LastSwab as the best reusable option in its format while being honest that it is a plastic-and-silicone tool, not a plastic-free swap.
How clear are their specs?
Openly lists the silicone tip, plastic rod, and recycled-plastic case, and publishes a brand-commissioned lifecycle comparison against disposables.
