While paper towels may not be the greenest option to clean up spills and messes, sometimes they are a convenient option when rags and cotton towels aren’t available. So when buying paper towels, look for 100% post-consumer recycled ones, which are usually a brownish color and unbleached. The reason? They are also a great addition to a compost bin after being used. Paper towels are 100% natural and are a fabulous addition to any compost bin to help aerate it. Adding layers of used paper towels creates small air pockets which help beneficial microorganisms to grow and make the compost rich and moist.
