best eco-friendly greeting best gifts paper towel alternative

It’s time to face it: paper towels are out of style. They’re expensive, wasteful, and terrible for the planet. Here’s why they’re on their way out—and what’s taking their place.

The Problem with Paper Towels:

  • The average household uses over 3,000 paper towels a year

  • Manufacturing them requires cutting down millions of trees

  • Most are used for seconds before being tossed into landfills

The Smarter Alternative:
Swedish sponge cloths. They’re reusable, washable, and compostable. One replaces the work of 15+ rolls of paper towels.

Enter Clards®:
We took the sponge cloth revolution one step further. Clards combine the sentiment of a greeting card with the function of a Swedish cloth—so you send love and sustainability in one.

How to Use Them:

  • Wipe counters, dishes, appliances, even windows

  • Sanitize in the dishwasher or microwave

  • Compost at the end of life

Conclusion:
Paper towels are so last century. The future is reusable, guilt-free, and way more fun.
