That is such an american problem ๐ตโ๐ซ. Reducing trash is a great motivation, but the reminder that the trash is just dumped and stored indefinitely over there just makes me want to scream.
Paper towels aren't even trash, paper can be recycled and you'll get new paper towels. But landfill it is...
They often are partially recycled material. But recycled paper isn't like recycling aluminum or steel. There are limits to how often and how much of the cycled material you can add back to make useful paper products.
But paper towels can and does make great compost as most gardeners know. And a properly run landfill is a compost pile. But you need to keep the nasty garbage out.
Aluminium paper towels it is, then!
