Geometry Not Paper Towels
The patterned "reusable, sustainable" paper-towel replacement - whose fabric is recycled polyester, i.e. plastic. Recycled from bottles, but still a shedding microfiber.
The verdict: Mostly plastic
This is the textbook "looks eco, is plastic" cloth. Geometry's Geoweave fabric is recycled polyester (RPET) - made from plastic bottles - which is a real waste-diversion story but not a plastic-free one. It's still a synthetic microfiber that sheds plastic in the wash. "Made from bottles" and "reusable" do a lot of work in the marketing; the material underneath is the same shedding plastic as any other microfiber cloth.
Verification: Manufacturer confirmed
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Surface contact |
|---|---|---|
| cloth recycled polyester (RPET) - a synthetic microfiber | Polyester | Yes primary |
Patterned reusable cloths sold as a stylish paper-towel alternative. As a reusable it works fine and the prints are the draw - the reason it's documented rather than recommended is the recycled-plastic fabric, covered in the verdict.
Pros
- Reusable and attractively printed; diverts plastic bottles from landfill
Cons
- Recycled polyester is still plastic microfiber that sheds in the wash
- "Sustainable / made from bottles" marketing obscures that it isn't plastic-free
