What you didn't know about using kitchen paper

A lot of people ask… what’s so wrong with using kitchen paper? It’s paper… It biodegrades??

Well, I’m afraid to say that depending what you’ve used your kitchen paper for, it may not degrade or be suitable for recycling.

Chemical cleaners, and kitchen oil and grease affects the biochemistry of soil and so shouldn’t be added to the compost heap. And for the same reasons can’t be recycled.

Also, the power needed to fell trees, process them into paper and then bleach, wrap and ship, is huge!! That’s a massive carbon footprint. In fact, the paper and pulp industry is the 4th largest contributor to greenhouse emissions.

Our reusable cleaning wipes are made once,
and then can be used over and over again. Some of my kitchen wipes are still going strong after 3/4 years.

Once they are not functional anymore, you can put them in the compost, clean.. even the thread we use is made from organic cotton and will entirely biodegrade.

You can clean your whole house with them, polish your wood and shine your windows…
Wipes hands and faces. They are so versatile and so much better for the environment.
