Wondering if compostable wax strips are worth the hype and extra cost

Some colleagues say these strips break down in a few months and prove to clients we care about the earth. Others point out they can rip more often during sensitive area waxing, leading to extra product use and higher bills. I'm torn between reducing waste and ensuring a reliable, comfortable service for everyone. How do you balance eco goals with practical results in your own work?

My salon tried them last year, and they ripped way more on bikini lines, honestly. That extra waste from ruined strips kinda cancels out the green point.

Those compostable wax strips usually need big compost sites to break down right. Home piles might not work, so the 'few months' idea might not be true. Always check what your local compost can handle.
