About Betterway
At Betterway we believe that it's the little daily habits that have the biggest impact on how our future turns out. It all began with a question: "How can we spend our time working for the planet?"
Back then we were digital nomads. We had been working while traveling all over the world and one thing became clear: our planet is a gem. Through jungles, lakes, oceans, volcanoes, and even salt deserts - we were in awe by Earth's beauty; so we decided to spend our time protecting it.
From using sustainable raw materials (such as FSC certified bamboo), to plastic-free packaging, to offsetting our carbon footprint, our mission is to create and spread a culture of planetary consciousness, constant learning, and continuous improvement — because there is always a better way.

How to use
Disposable bamboo paper towels are strong, absorbent, and (most importantly) a sustainable option for the majority of your household clean-up + wipe-down needs.
Think of them as an awesome alternative for your average wiping needs and the perfect sidekick to dishcloths or sponges for bigger spills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Regular paper towels are made from tree fibers - what the industry calls virgin pulp. Wood fibers are long so they can be loosely woven. This makes for a fluffy, absorbent product (like a sponge) but at the expense of our forest ecosystems 😞.

Both types of paper towels serve the same purpose and are the same quality. The choice between them mostly comes down to personal preference. Our classic white paper towels are whitened using an elemental chlorine free (ECF) process. Unlike traditional paper towels, which are whitened with bleach, ECF paper towels are whitened using a process that doesn't release toxic chlorinated substances into the environment and is more energy efficient.
Our natural browned paper towels skip the whitening process all-together! This means that production takes less resources (water, energy, whitening agents). The light brown, creamy (our designers call it cappuccino) hue comes from the natural bamboo pulp.
We launched with white paper towels because (through interviews with our customers) we discovered that far more people were willing to try alternative paper products if they were white. Our goal is to be in as many homes as possible promoting sustainability, so we chose to brighten our paper through a safe process to help people make an easy switch to tree-free.
As the brand grew, we asked our community to let us know if they were interested in brown paper towels. Sure enough, many of you said you'd love to have a natural pulp version, so we made it happen. 🙃
Unfortunately, Earthshopp is only shipping inside the USA right now.
Our rolls have 90 pick-a-size sheets. Each sheet is 10.8 inches tall by 6.3 inches wide.
The short answer is: YES. Our rolls are designed to fit a standard paper towel holder. But if you want to be extra sure, our roll diameter is around 3.75 inches and the core diameter (hole) is 1.57 inches.
We're an American company, but there is no infrastructure or bamboo supply to have a "Made in USA" paper at this time. After searching far and wide, the highest quality bamboo paper we found was being produced in China.
