Kitchen roll is one of those essential everyday products that most homes can’t do without. From dealing with emergency spills to mopping up grease when cooking, there are so many uses for the humble paper towel.
However, when it comes to efficiency and eco-friendliness, not all kitchen roll is created equal. Some still use bleach, while others fall apart as soon as they get wet.
So if you're looking for a strong and sustainable alternative to supermarket paper towels, bamboo kitchen roll is the way forward. We take a look at all the great reasons why.
Bamboo kitchen roll is eco-friendly
A big reason to make the switch to bamboo kitchen roll is because of its environmental impact or rather, lack thereof…
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet, with some species growing up to nearly 3ft per day! This rapid growth rate means bamboo can be harvested sustainably without causing deforestation or habitat destruction.
Moreover, unlike traditional paper towels that contribute to landfill waste, bamboo kitchen roll is biodegradable and compostable. It breaks down naturally when disposed of, reducing your home’s carbon footprint and contributing positively towards the environment.
Bamboo kitchen roll is super absorbent and durable
Compared to the fibres in traditional paper kitchen roll, bamboo fibres are known for their superior absorbency. Because a single sheet of bamboo kitchen roll can absorb more liquid than a single standard paper towel, you’ll use fewer sheets, meaning each roll lasts longer and you'll save money in the long run.
Bamboo fibres are naturally long and strong, which creates kitchen roll that doesn't easily tear or disintegrate when wet. This makes it perfect for cleaning up quickly and efficiently, without falling apart quickly like traditional paper towels often do.
Bamboo kitchen roll is the healthier option
Another reason why bamboo kitchen roll should be your go-to choice is because it is unbleached and free from the harmful chemicals that are often used in conventional paper-towel production. This means it poses minimal risk of chemical exposure to anybody who uses them.
Bamboo fibres are also naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic. They resist bacteria growth and don't cause allergic reactions, making them safe for all – even for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
Bamboo kitchen roll is more cost-effective
While bamboo kitchen roll might seem more expensive, in the long run it's more cost-effective than traditional paper towels. Given its superior durability and absorbency, you'll find yourself using less of it compared to regular kitchen roll.
Many bamboo kitchen rolls are also reusable, and you can give them a quick rinse and let them dry before using them again. This reusability factor extends the life of each roll, saving you money over time.
