Why use Sugarcane Hand Towels in Your Workplace?

Why use Sugarcane Hand Towels in Your Workplace?

, by Maeve Reidy, 3 min reading time

Sugarcane hand towels can complement the sugarcane toilet paper in your workplace, creating a great eco-friendly solution!

 

Using sugarcane paper hand towels offers several benefits, primarily related to environmental sustainability. Here are some reasons why sugarcane paper hand towels are a popular and eco-friendly choice:

  1. Sustainable Raw Material:

    • Sugarcane paper hand towels are made from bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing. Using bagasse as a raw material is sustainable because sugarcane is a rapidly renewable resource, as sugarcane crops only takes approximately 11 months to mature.
    • Reduction of Deforestation:

      • Choosing sugarcane-based paper helps reduce the demand for traditional wood pulp. This, in turn, contributes to the preservation of forests, as less wood is needed for paper production.
      • Lower Carbon Footprint:

        • The production of sugarcane paper generally has a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional paper production methods. This is due to the shorter growth cycle of sugarcane and the use of a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste.
        • Biodegradability:

          • Sugarcane paper is biodegradable and compostable. When disposed of properly, it breaks down naturally, reducing the impact on landfills and the environment.
          • Resource Efficiency:

            • Sugarcane requires less land and water to grow compared to trees used for traditional paper production. This makes sugarcane a more resource-efficient choice for paper products.
            • Support for Circular Economy:

              • The use of sugarcane paper aligns with principles of the circular economy, where waste from one process becomes a valuable input for another. Bagasse is a byproduct that can be repurposed into useful paper products.
              • Renewable Energy Use:

                • Many facilities that produce sugarcane paper utilise renewable energy sources in their manufacturing processes, further reducing the environmental impact.
                • High-Quality Paper:

                  • Sugarcane paper is known for its quality, strength, and durability. It can offer performance comparable to traditional paper products, ensuring effectiveness in hand drying and other uses.
                  • Eco-Friendly Packaging:

                    • Sugarcane paper hand towels are often packaged in eco-friendly materials, contributing to a more sustainable overall product.
                    • Consumer Preference:

                      • Many consumers are increasingly concerned about environmental issues and prefer products that are environmentally friendly. Offering sugarcane paper hand towels aligns with consumer values and preferences.
                      • Regulatory Compliance:

                        • Some businesses may follow regulations and certifications promoting sustainable practices. Using sugarcane paper may help businesses comply with such regulations and demonstrate commitment to environmental responsibility.

                      At Box Depot, our Sugarcane Hand Towels are the perfect companion to our range of Sugarcane Toilet Paper.
