Who Gives a Crap Kitchen Rolls: A Sustainable Choice
Who Gives a Crap? sells these fab kitchen rolls, made from post-consumer waste paper, and sold in colourful paper packaging. Known mostly for its recycled paper toilet roll, it’s now ventured into making a few other products, to help stop deforestation.
And this company donates 50% of profits to sanitation projects abroad, so that people have access to clean hygienic toilets.
How to Dispose of Kitchen Roll Properly
Although these kitchen rolls are made from recycled paper, they should not be flushed down the toilet. Kitchen roll is designed to stay strong when wet, which means it does not break down quickly like toilet paper. Flushing it can lead to blocked pipes and plumbing problems.
Instead:
- Clean or lightly used sheets can be torn into smaller pieces and added to a home compost bin if your compost system accepts paper products.
- Oily or greasy sheets should go into the rubbish bin, as oils can affect compost quality.
Using kitchen roll responsibly helps reduce waste and keeps drains and compost systems working properly.
Strong, Absorbent Kitchen Rolls
These kitchen rolls are designed to handle everyday cleaning jobs around the home. They are highly absorbent and work well for wiping up spills, cleaning kitchen counters, removing crumbs, or wiping dusty surfaces.
Each double-length roll contains 135 strong sheets made from biodegradable, two-ply paper. The rolls contain no added scent, dyes, or inks, making them a simple choice for households that prefer fewer unnecessary ingredients.
You may notice that the rolls are slightly shorter than some conventional kitchen rolls. However, this does not affect how well they work. The size has been carefully chosen to help keep packaging and delivery costs lower, as these rolls are mainly sold online and delivered directly to customers.
Why Each Roll Is Wrapped Separately
The kitchen rolls come in individual paper wrappers. This helps protect each roll from moisture while keeping the packaging completely plastic-free.
Wrapping several rolls together might seem like it would use less packaging, but it would often require plastic to keep the paper rolls protected during storage and transport. Since Who Gives a Crap is focused on reducing plastic waste, the company has chosen paper wrapping instead.
