The environmental
impact of paper towels
From cutting down trees, through
chemical processes to disposal –
using paper towels has a significant
impact on the environment.
Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer
Felling trees
Trees are a major source of pulp
for virgin paper towel production.
Transportation
Once trees are felled they
need to be transported from
the forest to the mill.
Mix with water
Lots of water and energy
are needed to make paper.
Pulping and bleaching
Chemicals are also used
in the bleaching process.
Maintenance
Paper towel dispensers
need constant restocking.
Disposal
Most used paper towels cannot
be recycled. Used paper towels,
packaging and bin liners end
up in landfill or an incinerator.

In collaboration with Carbon Trust, Dyson has produced a method to measure the environmental
impact of electrical appliances and paper towels. The carbon calculations were produced using
GaBi software provided by PE International, based on product use over 5 years and using the
US as a representative country of use. Dry times for products were evaluated using DTM 769.
