Review on 🌿 Seventh Generation 100% Recycled Paper Towels, 2-Ply, 6-Count (Pack of 4) - Eco-Friendly Household Essentials! by Joshua Weaver

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, especially for eco-friendly ones.

These paper towels definitely make it. I appreciate having more tear strips for half width towels. While the 7th generation towels aren't the most absorbent paper towels I've ever used, they still do their job well and won't fall apart when cleaning up spills. They're more expensive than other options at Revain, but I haven't found a better eco-friendly paper towel, no matter the price. I used to use bulky Bounty quilted paper towels that absorb a ton of liquid per towel. When I started reading and thinking about my personal impact on the environment, I started buying 7th generation paper towels. While paper towels are rarely an eco-friendly choice, they're still essential in life (at least for now). The fact is that the seventh generation uses at least 50% of the recycled content. This high recycled content is a key factor. Already many products can be labeled as "recycled” even if the recycled content is 10% or 20%. This is a very low bar for recycled materials, and I think Seventh Generation's high recycled content confirms that other companies should be doing much better. I reuse my paper towels whenever possible (for things like cleaning up coffee grounds or wiping down countertops - never reuse after they've gotten dirty), but it makes it easier for me to know that no matter how often I use those towels use, buying them reduces environmental impact.
