Paper-Saving Towel Rolls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Towel-Replacing Paper Rolls are Environmentally Friendly

— September 2, 2013 — Art & Design
Paper towels can be a drag to buy since it only has a one time use. Luckily, Etsy designer 'mamamade' created these creative paper towel rolls made of actual towels instead of paper. With a completely re-usable design, no extra paper will be wasted.

These Tree Saver Towels by 'mamamade' are a series of handmade hand towels with customizable prints, patterns and designs. Each hand towel comes with a series of three buttons fastened to the end of each towel so that the towels can connect together and form a roll. When someone wants to use one of the hand towels in the roll, they simply pull on the towel and it unclips just like a paper towel would rip. Once used, these hand towels can be washed and re-fastened together and used all over again.
