The problems with paper towels

• Paper towels are expensive, have a high
impact on the environment and cause
extra washroom maintenance through
mess and blockages.

• Because dispensers are often found

empty, leaving no way to dry hands,
paper towels can create hygiene
issues.
Environmental impact of paper towels
• Felling trees: Trees are a major source of pulp for virgin paper
towel production. To make one ton of paper towels 17 trees and
20,000 gallons of water are polluted

• Transportation: Once trees are felled they need to be transported

from the forest to the mill.

• Mix with water: Lots of water and energy are needed to make
paper

• Chemicals: Chemicals are also used in the bleaching process.

• Disposal: Most used paper towels cannot be recycled.

They have to be disposed of. Used paper
towels, packaging and bin liners end up
in landfill or an incinerator.
