Here are some quick tips to service your blades:

Currently plastic waste has become a critical issue. The consistent amount produced daily has a negative impact on our health as well as our environment. With plastic now used in numerous ways-from household items, electronics to automobile parts, there is no escaping the extensive onslaught of the waste byproducts.
Manufacturing new plastic requires oil, natural gas, while emitting huge volumes of greenhouse gases. It also contributes to the contamination of both sea and land killing much of our ecosystems.
