I’m always on the lookout for soft, beautiful, eco-friendly beach towels to enjoy long days in the sun here in Hawai’i. So many beach towels are made from plastic, which is terrible for the environment and for your health. Definitely don’t want to be leaving plastic fibers on the beach or in the ocean!
Here are my favorite finds for stylish, high-quality, and eco-friendly beach towels!
The Problems with Traditional Beach Towels
Depending on the towel you use, there are several potential ways your beach towel could be expanding your carbon footprint.
One problem is plastic. Synthetic fabrics like polyester almost always contain some amount of plastic fibers.
Every time you wash your towel, some of those fibers break off and get into the water. They eventually reach the ocean, where they cause problems for wildlife.
Manufacturing that plastic also requires a lot of energy usage and fossil fuels, which damage the environment as well.
Unfortunately, beach towels with natural fibers don’t solve the entire problem. Unless the natural fibers are organic, the farmers are using pesticides and other chemicals to produce the fabric. That adds more chemicals to the environment, which can disturb our delicate ecosystems.
My 7 Favorite Brands to Shop for Eco-Friendly Beach Towels
The SIN Stripes Towel
The Stripes towel, available in several colors and sizes, eliminates two ways bath towels can be problematic. First, the towel is made entirely of natural materials, a blend of cotton and hemp. This keeps plastic out of the equation.
Turkish Towels from House No. 23
Turkish towels are known as being staples for any luxury home, and you can take that luxury to the beach with you. All the while, you’ll have a clear conscience knowing you’re protecting the planet.
The Turkish towels from House No. 23 are made from organic cotton. Not only does that make them biodegradable, but it means you’re avoiding any added pesticides or other harmful chemicals.
