SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY INITIATIVE® (SFI®) CERTIFIED SOURCING.
This third-party certification means the wood we use is legally sourced and we use trained loggers who follow best practices for preserving biodiversity and water quality.
OUR PAPER TOWELS ARE COMPOSTABLE.
We encourage you to compost your Sparkle® Paper Towels in your home/backyard compost piles or at a commercial composting facility in your area. Just remember not to compost paper towels soaked in cleaning products as they can kill the microorganisms that make the composting process take place.

WE USE RECYCLED FIBER TO MAKE PAPER TOWELS.
Did you know that the Sparkle® brand uses up to 37,000 tons of recovered office paper that might otherwise end up in a landfill to help make our paper towels instead? That’s equal to about 6.1 billion sheets of office paper every year!
