It takes 17 trees and 20,000 gallons of water to make one ton of paper towels. Save resources and reduce waste in your kitchen (and beyond) with this multi-use replacement for paper towels. Modeled after our Organic Waffle Kitchen Towels, each set of eight paperless towels comes with contrast binding in two colors—making it easy to color code which towels you use where. After the first wash, the organic cotton waffle weave will shrink up and crinkle, offering more surface area per square inch to soak up moisture.
