So while Seventh Generation products have been proving wonderful to use the price left me doubtful about their chance for widespread appeal. Recycled paper products are a different story though. Publix’s Greenwise toilet paper and paper towels are the same price and sometimes a few pennies cheaper than the regular Publix brand.
The Greenwise products are 100% recycled paper with no added dyes, fragrances, or inks. They look like normal paper products and perform quite the same. The toilet paper is soft and easily as good as the comparable store brand or cheaper bathroom tissues. If you’re already buying the high end, aloe-filled, super quilted types you won’t be impressed. However, if you’re buying whatever is cheapest this might just be an upgrade. Like the toilet paper, the paper towels are just as good as the typical store brand. I’m something of a paper towel snob usually but I’m very happy with the recycled ones.
While using recycled paper products certainly makes a difference (especially for someone like myself that uses them a lot), the best way to save paper is to just reduce use altogether. I use a dish towel when possible to clean up in the kitchen and I’ve cut up old cotton t-shirts to use as small towels. Toilet paper will not be replaced anytime soon at my home (hygiene and sanitation take priority over the environment) but I’m trying hard to reduce my paper towel consumption.
I highly recommend the Publix Greenwise toilet paper and paper towels. They’ve replaced normal paper products in my home as long as the price stays the same or lower. Reducing paper use would be the simplest solution though. It would also be an easy transition for someone who buys the higher end paper towels or toilet paper since they could focus on simply cutting consumption.
