# Paper-Saving Towel Rolls These Towel-Replacing Paper Rolls are Environmentally Friendly By M | Published 2013-09-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-towel References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/95598071/custom-tree-saver-towels-reusable-eco) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/mamamade?ref=l2-shop-info-name) Paper towels can be a drag to buy since it only has a one time use. Luckily, Etsy designer 'mamamade' created these creative paper towel rolls made of actual towels instead of paper. With a completely re-usable design, no extra paper will be wasted. These Tree Saver Towels by 'mamamade' are a series of handmade hand towels with customizable prints, patterns and designs. Each hand towel comes with a series of three buttons fastened to the end of each towel so that the towels can connect together and form a roll. When someone wants to use one of the hand towels in the roll, they simply pull on the towel and it unclips just like a paper towel would rip. Once used, these hand towels can be washed and re-fastened together and used all over again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reusable Towel Rolls:** Opportunity to disrupt the paper towel industry by offering reusable towel rolls made of actual towels. - **Customizable Hand Towels:** Disruptive innovation opportunity by creating customizable hand towels with unique prints and designs. - **Sustainable Cleaning Products:** Opportunity to disrupt the cleaning industry by offering sustainable alternatives to single-use paper products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Furnishing:** Opportunity for the home furnishing industry to provide reusable towel rolls as a sustainable alternative to paper towels. - **Design and Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the design and printing industry by offering customizable hand towels with unique prints and patterns. - **Cleaning and Hygiene:** Opportunity for the cleaning and hygiene industry to develop sustainable cleaning products that reduce waste and promote reusability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Absorbent Reusable Paper Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-paper-towel.md) - [Reusable Paper Towel Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papaya-reusables.md) - [Bamboo Sugarcane Paper Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-free-paper-towels.md) - [Plastic-Free Kitchen Paper Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterway-bamboo.md) - [Recycled Dish Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-dish-towels.md) - [Long-Lasting Reusable Cloths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swish-cloths.md) - [Strong Bamboo Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-eco-paper.md) - [Eco-Friendly Paper Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravos-paper-towels.md) - [Sustainable Modern Dish Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-modern-dish-towls.md)
