The original cotton buds were made with wooden sticks. Somewhere along the line, it was replaced by plastic.
Why should a product which is used for less than a minute stay in our landfills and oceans for hundreds of years?
Many countries have already banned plastic cotton buds since eco-friendly replacements are already available. India is planning to ban plastic cotton buds soon.

How to dispose?
If you have used the bud to clean your ears, just toss it into the wet waste and it will decompose.
If you have used it to remove makeup or with any other chemicals, it is better if you separate the cotton and put it in the recycling bin. The Bamboo stick can be tossed in the wet waste or even directly into the soil.
