“Americans use 13 billion pounds of paper towels each year, according to the nonprofit Ocean Conservancy.”
“A Minnesota entrepreneur is focused on cutting that number down. Carla Scholz is the owner of Soak It Up Cloths, a business she launched about three years ago.”
“The Swedish sponge cloth starts out firm; when it gets wet, it transforms into a reusable cloth for cleaning. The cloth is made up of 70% cellulose and 30% cotton and can absorb up to 20 times its weight in liquid. According to Scholz, one cloth is comparable to more than 1,500 paper towels.”
