Pablo's done it again! In his ongoing AskPablo series of life cycle analysis comparisons, he examines the debate between paper versus cloth napkins. Which is the better environmental choice?
The study uses the following assumptions:
Restaurants will wash cloth napkins after each use, use excessive bleach, and use a napkin 50 times.
Homes will wash cloth napkins only once a week.
So what is the worst choice for napkins? Cotton napkins win hands down.
And what is the best choice for napkins? Based upon the assumptions used in the study, paper napkins are the best choice for restaurants and linen napkins are the best choice in homes.
