The Real Facts:
Fifty-One Thousand Trees
Every day 51,000 trees are cut down to create paper towel + napkin products for the U.S.A.
Half Are Really, REALLY Bad
In one test, 50% of napkins tested released a high quantity of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals.
Water Wasters
The paper industry uses more water to produce a ton of product than any other industry.
Organic + Sustainable Materials
Rosemary's strictly uses organic fabrics; organic cotton is grown without toxic substances and polluting pesticides, grown in healthier soil.
Low Water Usage
Rosemary's uses a digital printing process that reduces water usage and results in long-lasting colors.
Guilt-Free Washing
No micro-plastics ever! Polyester fabric (including micro-fiber) releases plastics into the water cycle - yuck. Our natural fabrics do not do that.
