Why make the switch?
Normally kitchen roll comes in plastic packaging and contains a long list of chemicals. It takes trees 30-60 years to grow before they're cut down for a single use product. 27,000 trees are being cut down each day!
Our kitchen roll is made from unbleached sustainable bamboo - which is fast growing and can be harvested on an annual basis. The packaging is 100% plastic free - and the kitchen roll has no bleach or nasty chemicals. It's a super-absorbent, sustainable alternative!

How long will they last?
Each roll has 120 sheets - it depends how many spills you have!
Are bamboo kitchen towels any good?
Absolutely! Bamboo is strong – so it doesn’t rip easily and also has a high absorbency compared to kitchen towels made from trees or recycled paper. This means it doesn’t need to be folded over to mop up spills – leading to less wastage. They are more sustainable than paper towels made from wood based paper – and are versatile, sturdy and absorbent.
Are bamboo kitchen towels antibacterial?
Bamboo has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties – which make it a better option than wood based kitchen towels. Our bamboo kitchen roll is also unbleached - meaning there are no nasty chemicals.

What is kitchen roll used for?
Kitchen roll is very versatile – you can use it for mopping up spills, wiping faces and hands, wiping up dirt (such as animal paw prints from your kitchen floor!), drying food such as salad, lining salad trays in your fridge. As an alternative to plates for those spontaneous BBQs, at children’s’ birthday parties and at the dining room table as an alternative to paper napkins.
Can kitchen roll go in food waste bins or the compost?
Yes it can – our bamboo kitchen roll is fully compostable – and it contains no chemicals – so no nasties will go into the soil.

You can – but we’d recommend using our kitchen roll as the sheets are bigger and designed to use in the kitchen.
What other names are there for kitchen roll?
Kitchen roll can be called paper towel, kitchen paper or kitchen towel.
What is the difference between toilet paper and kitchen roll?
Toilet paper has finer fibres which makes it softer and also allows it to breakdown more easily. Kitchen roll has larger more absorbent fibres which are designed to maximise strength and absorbency.
