There are many eco-friendly options when it comes to fabrics, with towels being no exception. Organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, and wood pulp are all sound choices. Look for hydrogen peroxide bleached towels instead of chlorine bleached, or better yet, unbleached towels. Towels that are processed mechanically are better than those processed with caustic chemicals.
