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.

Thank you for shopping here.
By doing simple things, creating processes that replenish the earth, and committing to change, we can leave this place inhabitable.
Oh, and Rosemary is a combination of family names that came to me in a dream when I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. That’s the story. Get back to emptying your wallet on this website and making the world better now please. Jk. Kind of.
