The History of Paper hand towels
The Scott Paper Company invented paper towels in the 19th century roughly around the 1879 time when Irvin and Clarence Scott – two brothers from Philadelphia founded this paper company.
It turns out it was inspired a battle to tackle cold in school by a teacher who insisted that every student with a runny nose was handed a piece of soft paper so that germs wouldn’t contaminate the roller towels placed in toilets. Ingenious idea at the time but that was a eureka moment.

Since we use a lot paper hand towel the next question is:-
Can you recycle paper towels?
Paper towels, napkins, paper plates, and tissues are all paper products, however they are never recyclable. Because they usually come in contact with food wastes, greases, and possibly bodily fluids, they are not able to be “cleaned” during the recycling process and should not be with other “clean” paper waste like magazines and copy paper. Always throw these items into the trash.
