The 10 Best Reusable Bamboo Paper Towels
When we covered the best eco-friendly and compostable wet wipes, we were pleasantly surprised to find many wet wipes that were made from bamboo fiber. Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial. Towels and wipes need to disinfect a surface along with cleaning it for residue. It is a match made in heaven. So it is only a matter of time that we were going to end up covering reusable bamboo paper towels. It is a perfect example of a material being used in a product that makes the best use of its natural properties.
Why Choose Bamboo Towels?
Bamboo towels can be reused, unlike paper towels. They have superior absorbency compared to their paper counterparts. Bamboo towels are also firmer and more resistant to tear. It is estimated that you can reuse a bamboo towel around 100 times. The bamboo towels are also naturally hypoallergenic. So they can be used by people who tend to have sensitive skin.
All of these benefits and we haven’t even discussed the biggest saving – bamboo grows fast and is far more sustainable as a raw material than the wood which is used to make regular paper towels. The bamboo tree grows in as quickly as 3 to 4 months unlike trees which can take up to 30 years. To make matters even worse, of all the tree pulp used to make paper towels, 3000 tons of regular paper towel waste gets created every day. Bamboo towels are reusable which means you end up with environmental savings many times over.

So you get just over 4000 uses out of a single purchase which should last you around 9 months with average use. Not bad!
