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: Significant plastic contact
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.
