Bamboo
As a member of the grass family, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. It requires no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers to grow, and can be harvested within 3-5 years, as compared to approximately 30+ years for traditional hardwoods. Bamboo is extremely adaptable and produces more oxygen per acre than large tree species, while using a fraction of the water to grow. Its durable and lightweight qualities make bamboo a great alternative for hard wood products!
Recycled Aluminum
Recycling scrap aluminum uses just 5% of the energy required to create virgin aluminum. When first-time aluminum is manufactured, the extraction, transportation, and processing required uses large amounts of energy, emits CO2, and degrades the natural environment due to deforestation and mining. Recycling aluminum not only reduces these harmful consequences, but also decreases the amount of aluminum taking up space in landfills. Best of all, aluminum maintains the same properties each time it is recycled, so it can be transformed into new materials indefinitely.

Question
Paige –
Hello there!
I would love to learn more about the materials used to make the Full Circle Home paper towel holder!
1) Is the bamboo finished with a non-toxic finish/varnish?
2) Is the stainless steel used food-grade?
3) Any testing done for heavy metals on this product?
4) The Full Circle webpage mentions it’s also made with recycled plastic … Any BPA, PVC, phthalates, etc.?
Thank you!

Hi Nicole! This towel holder’s vertical cylinder has a 1-inch diameter. If your reusable towels will accommodate this, it should work well 😀

How large a diameter roll will it fit? Our current one does not fit for the paper towels that we use.
