Restaurants throw away approximately 100,000 pounds of waste a year. This number doesn’t just include food waste, but also bottles, cans, straws, packaging, paper products, and much more. Further, restaurant waste isn’t limited to the kitchen and dining areas. In fact, one major culprit is most commonly found in the restrooms: paper towels.
According to the Paperless Project:
13 billion pounds of paper towels are used each year in the U.S.
20,000 gallons of water are polluted for each ton of paper towels produced
