Switch to natural plasters
Plasters, even the fabric ones, contain plastic, and are usually wrapped in plastic, or come in a plastic container. They also commonly contain irritants that can cause skin reactions on sensitive skin. PATCH is the world's first organic adhesive strip which is a natural approach to wound care and also 100% biodegradable.
In 2019, the Band-Aid brand sold approximately 42.1 million units of first aid tape/bandage products in the United States.
