Made from 100% Recycled Chlorine-Free Paper
By choosing Seventh Generation Recycled Paper Towels, you’ll be making an important environmental difference immediately. These paper towels are not whitened with chlorine and are made from 100% recycled paper (80% post-consumer, 20% pre-consumer). Hypo-allergenic, unbleached, strong and absorbent, these towels will help you keep your home and the environment clean.
Post-consumer paper is paper that has been recycled at home or at the office. Buying post-consumer paper helps finish the job you started–of saving the earth’s natural resources, including trees, water, and energy. And using products made from post-consumer recycled materials helps reduce the need for virgin wood pulp, which means more trees are left standing. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide–a greenhouse gas that’s the primary contributor to global warming. In fact, a single tree, over its lifetime, absorbs about one tone of CO2. To put it another way, a ton of recycled paper saves seventeen trees.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 120 sheet virgin fiber paper towels with 100% recycled ones, we could save: 1 million trees, 2.6 million cubic feet of landfill space (equal to over 3,800 full garbage trucks), 367 million gallons of water (a year’s supply for 2,800 families of four), and avoid 38,000 tons of pollution. And because these towels are unbleached and have not been treated with chlorine, you can safely compost them in your garden when you’re done using them.

Quite decent paper towels — not much to say about it. Their absorbency is a little bit less than nonrecycled ones, but not bad, and no further trees had to be cut down for it.
What the product description should say but doesn’t: these are 120-sheet rolls. Each sheet is 11×9″.
Something I didn’t entirely realize before I ordered a box — thirty rolls is a lot of paper towels. Like, oh, twenty pounds of the stuff. So you’re going to have these on hand for a while. You’ll have to bring them along when you move, and they’ll watch the children whose playpens you cleaned up with the first of them leave for college after wiping their car’s dipstick with the last. It’s something of a committment, really.

You might be comparing these brown paper towels with the 30 rolls of Seventh Generation, white paper towels also sold on Amazon wondering which is cheaper. Note that these are 120 sheets per roll. The white ones are 70 sheets per roll.
White paper towels
$40.99/(30*70) = 1.9 cents per sheet.
Brown paper towels
$54.99/(30*120) = 1.5 cents per sheet.
So the brown ones are cheaper.

These are good paper towels, good absorbency and stand up relatively well when wet.

It may take 2 sheets to blot up as much liquid as Bounty, but it takes zero trees. It creates a market for waste paper which otherwise would be thrown in the garbage. It also saves a ton of water and creates no dioxins like chlorine bleached paper towels do. And dioxins are among the deadliest poisons on the planet. If you care about your children this stuff is a no-brainer. Everytime you purchase it, we all win.

I tried both the bleached white and the brown natural versions of these towels and I BY FAR prefer the white; not because of the color, but because you get more for your money.
The white towels are not as soft feeling as your grocery store preferred brands. They actually feel rather rough; but they are quite strong and lint free. Both versions are the same size towel, about 1/3rd smaller than your standard papertowel. The brown version feels much thinner and is not nearly as strong. I can’t even dry my hands with one towel, they rip to pieces. On both, the perforations are not cut very well and it’s nearly impossible to tear off a single sheet, especially the white. I can use the white towel and hang it on my kitchen faucet to dry and use it again; not so with the brown version. The brown towels are in pieces after drying one coffee cup.
I wish they would tear off the roll easier but I’d buy the white towel again, but I wouldn’t buy the brown natural towel.
