The Current Situation
The use of disposable paper towels has a huge impact on the environment by contributing to deforestation, water pollution and global warming. Some of the facts about paper towel consumption and the environmental impact are:
- 20,000 gallons of water are polluted and 24 trees are consumed to make one ton of paper towels - all for a single use and thrown away.
- Every day, over 3,000 tons of paper towel waste is produced in the U.S., alone.
- Paper towels, decomposing in landfills, emit powerful greenhouse gases.
- Paper is the largest contributor to municipal landfill waste in 2006.
- The average person uses 2,400 - 3,000 paper towels outside the home each year
