WHAT: Food52 Reusable Paper Towels
WHY: Many of us don’t reeeeally think about our paper towel usage. In terms of products that are egregiousIy bad for the environment, these barely register in comparison to the plastic straw. They’re made of paper, so don’t they just biodegrade?
Yes. But.
These single-use, throwaway items add up. Americans use more than 13 billion pounds of paper towels every year, which requires millions of trees and gallons of water. Plus, paper towels produce methane when they break down in landfills, which is a greenhouse house, and those are no bueno.
Suddenly, reaching for a little paper towel to wipe up a mess seems a lot less innocent.
Which is why switching to a compostable, reusable paper towel is just one, small thing we can do to reduce our environmental footprint. And blessedly, these compostable, reusable paper towels from Food52 make that process ridiculously easy, because there is almost no sacrifice.
But, to call these “paper” is a bit of a misnomer— these high-tech towels are made from a blend of cellulose, non-GMO unbleached cotton and natural mineral salt. We’re not entirely sure why that magic combo works, but it does. They’re incredibly absorbent and they don’t shed or tear or fall apart. Just rinse after each use, or PUT IN THE DISHWASHER, and throw in the compost bin after about a week.
Each order comes with 3 rolls, each roll comes with 12 towels, and each towel lasts a week. So these 3 small rolls will last you 9 months— do the math if you don’t believe us.
