Our premium quality 90% recycled paper towels perform almost as well as leading non-recycled brands while using less virgin paper, which helps save forests and the planet. In fact at least 40% of the recycled material that makes up our paper towels starts off as American office waste, like misprints, old presentations, and meeting agendas. And every time you use one of our rolls, you help save 6.8 pounds of CO2 and 8 gallons of water compared to a roll of non-recycled paper towels. They are absorbent and strong with perforations that make it easy for you to tear just the right size with one hand to clean up messy spills, and the cardboard tube in the center is super stiff so it spins easily without bending and pressing against the towel holder.
