MAYBE buy. We liked Who Gives A Crap Bamboo Paper Towels enough to give it a green light: bamboo paper is more sustainable than tree-based paper towels, the cost is reasonable, and the paper doesn’t shred in our hands. It’s not going to be as luxurious-feeling as normal paper towels, which is fine, but we tend to use reusable Swedish dishcloths like Redecker or DII. For those must-one-time-use paper, WGAC is good option.
While we were excited to try bamboo paper towels, we can’t recommend The Cheeky Panda’s kitchen rolls. They are too pricey for a product that is significantly worse — we will stick with our reusable swedish dishcloths and recycled paper towels for now.
Imagine if paper towels and sponges had a baby — a biodegradable, zero-waste one... it would be these Swedish Dishcloths! We ESPECIALLY love these from Redecker (even more than other swedish dishcloths we’ve used in the past) for the design and the incredible price. Buy these, and buy many.
We think Public Goods Tree Free paper towels made from sugarcane and bamboo is not really a buy. The upgrade over recycled paper towels is that they don’t shred— but you still get the poke through.
Given how much waste paper towels can generate, we tried to curb our usage for them by picking up zero-waste DII Swedish Dishcloths
