Marcel Paper Towels,

I really like the paper towels; for a few reasons. One reason they are recycled. There isn't any grayish color like many items out there. Also I like them because they are cut in the smaller size. The only thing I have noticed they don't last as long as others name brand, but again the quality of the paper is recycled...it does what it needs to do. I would buy them again.

Not only are the Marcal Small Steps line of paper products made from recycled paper, using fewer resources ( 100% recycled paper, not a single tree is cut down to make it) but they are not bleached with chlorine. Chlorine is a highly toxic substance we have come to accept as an everyday cleaning agent, when in fact it is a highly toxic substance.
Many chemicals allowed in home products (home cleaning products, home pesticide products, etc.) are 'grandfathered' and unregulated and yet are the very same chemicals that when used in industry are tightly regulated.

Marcal products are bleached with safer hydrogen peroxide based methods. This is taken from one of their product descriptions:

This is the only select-a-size paper towel made from recycled paper that I have found. You would never confuse it with Bounty but it is pretty good at picking up spills. I don't mind using more towels to pick up a spill because no trees died making the towel. I do wish a another recycled towel came in the select-a-size.
