Some duos are so famous, it’s hard to think of one without the other. Batman and Robin. Simon and Garfunkel. Tom and Jerry. Even everyday pairings have become famous, like salt and pepper or bread and butter.
One powerful couple we believe deserves some serious recognition? Toilet paper and paper towels. (The eco-friendly kind, of course.)
Recycled paper products tackle your messiest moments without leaving an environmental one. Together, they’re the sustainable duo that turns your daily routines into wins for Mama Earth.
Why choose recycled? A quick recap
First things first, let’s make the case for using recycled toilet paper and paper towels.
1. Keep forests standing tall.
Saving trees is a good enough reason in itself, if you ask us. Every year, 712 million trees are cut down to make toilet paper globally. Making paper products from 100% post-consumer recycled paper means that not a single new tree is cut down.
2. Less waste in landfills.
In the US alone, 56% of paper waste ends up in landfills. That’s a lot of recycled TP potential. Turning old office memos and textbooks into something useful for your home is circular thinking at its best.
3. Smarter use of other natural resources.
Creating paper from recycled materials uses significantly less water and energy compared to making it from virgin trees. It’s more efficient process from start to finish.
Meet the bathroom’s MVP: 100% recycled toilet paper
For many people, eco-friendly toilet paper is the gateway to a more sustainable home.
While alternative materials like bamboo are also fantastic, 100% recycled toilet paper is the most environmentally friendly option. While bamboo grows incredibly fast and feels cushy on your tushy, it still requires fresh raw materials.
Meanwhile, recycled rolls are soft, strong and completely hygienic — without any of the consequences that come with traditional tree chomping.
The kitchen’s champion: sustainable paper towels
On to the teammate who’s always ready for action: the paper towel. This versatile workhorse is there for every kitchen catastrophe, from spilt coffee to greasy messes.
But are paper towels sustainable?
They absolutely can be. When you choose recycled, you’re swapping a product often made from virgin forests for one that’s kind, clean and just as mighty. With strength for tough messes and absorbency for big spills, eco-friendly paper towels don’t compromise on performance.
And if you’re wondering what’s so bad about traditional paper towel materials, remember that every single roll contributes to more deforestation. That’s why we love alternatives that keep your kitchen sparkling and your conscience clear.
The pairing advantage: why they're better together
Making one sustainable swap is fantastic. But making two? That’s where the magic happens.
When you pair eco toilet paper with recycled paper towels, you double down on your positive contribution. It’s a simple equation: two Earth-friendly paper products are better than one.
But it’s bigger than just numbers. Maintaining a sustainable household is about consistency. When your eco-conscious choices are present throughout your home, you’re making a powerful statement. It’s a signal that you’re committed to making better choices and reducing your family’s impact on the planet.
And let’s not forget that the convenience factor of this duo makes for one less chore. Getting both of your most frequently used paper products sorted in one go simplifies your shopping.
It’s kind of genius when you think about it — doubling your impact while halving the effort.
