Stop washing microplastics down the drain
Cellulose Cloths - Eco Shark
Every kitchen and bathroom needs a cellulose cloth. These amazing cloths are thicker and stronger than paper towels, can absorb 15x's their weight, and can be reused for months until they're ready for their retirement years in the compost bin.
One cellulose cloth can replace 15 rolls of paper towel - that's right! I said ROLLS, not sheets! So you'll also be saving some cash-o-la as well as lessening your impact on the environment.
Cellulose clothes can be washed up to 200 times (!) with your laundry or in the top rack of your dishwasher (or hand washed if you're into that sort of thing) and then hung to dry. They dry firm, but soften up with water.
Our cellulose cloths are 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, which makes them 100% biodegradable, and 100% awesome.

Paper towels don't appear to be inherently bad. They can (and should!) be made from post consumer recycled materials and can (and should!) be composted after use.
Unfortunately, they are not as unassuming as they seem - you can read more about them here.
In a nutshell, they're still a single-use item that requires our natural resources to produce. One ton of paper towels uses and pollutes 20,000 gallons of fresh water.
They're also wrapped in plastic and take up a lot of space to store and ship, which both contribute to a larger carbon footprint than cellulose clothes.
Conventional sponges are very porous and don't dry easily. This makes them the perfect breeding ground for bacteria... and then they're rubbed all over our dish wear...🤢
