More about Kitchen roll
Household paper made from recycled fibres and fast-growing bamboo makes no compromises when it comes to absorbency. Kitchen rolls and folded hand towels are used up quickly – but their raw materials are not. That is why you’ll find carefully considered alternatives from Green Hygiene and Pandoo here, many made from recycled paper or bamboo and designed for everyday use.
How to recognise good household paper
- Raw material: Recycled paper gives used fibres a second life, while bamboo grows back quickly.
- Ply: Multi-ply quality – such as 3-ply kitchen rolls – provides strength and absorbency in use.
- Packaging: According to the manufacturer, Green Hygiene kitchen rolls are packaged without plastic.
- Reusable option: Reusable bamboo cloths replace many sheets from a disposable roll.
Our brands: why these ones
Green Hygiene makes products from recycled paper and gives its recycled-paper products tongue-in-cheek names: KAI-UWE is the kitchen roll, KARLA the 3-ply rPapier version, alongside folded hand towels such as INGEBORG and FRIEDA and hand towel rolls such as RAINER and HANNELORE – practical wherever lots of hands are washed.
Pandoo focuses on bamboo: its reusable kitchen roll with 20 cloths is the reusable answer to the quick grab for a disposable roll.
Disposable or reusable – which suits you?
Both have their place: for greasy or raw food, and anything that goes straight in the bin, a recycled kitchen roll remains the practical choice. Reusable bamboo cloths handle everyday wiping and drying – making each roll last much longer and saving paper continuously.
Is recycled household paper just as absorbent?
Yes – modern recycled-paper qualities such as Green Hygiene kitchen rolls are absorbent and made for everyday kitchen use. The difference lies in the raw material, not the performance.
How does a reusable kitchen roll work?
The roll contains 20 bamboo cloths that you tear off as usual – but after use, they are washed and reused instead of going in the bin.
What are folded hand towels suitable for at home?
Anywhere lots of hands would otherwise have to share one towel: in the guest loo, in a home office with visitors or in the workshop. Every use provides a fresh sheet – hygienic and without damp fabric hand towels.
The household doesn’t stop at paper: these products pair well with recycled toilet paper, cleaning products, bin bags and everything you need for a clean home.
