Shop Ethical rating
Shop Ethical rates the environmental and social impact of the company (not the product) using independent sources. This rating is not included in our total score. N/A means there is no rating for that company.
Puncture test score
We assess the strength of the paper towel by testing its resistance to puncturing. In this test a higher force is the most desirable result, meaning your finger is less likely to go through the paper.

Wet tear strength score
We test how easily the paper towel will tear when wet to show how strong it is, or if you're dealing with something you don't particularly want coming through the towel.

Separation test score
We measure the ease of separating the paper towel at the perforation. The easier it is for paper towel to tear off the roll, the better.

FSC certified
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international, nonprofit organisation that promotes responsible forest management. It achieves this by setting standards on forest products with a certification process. You'll find the FSC tree-tick logo on some paper towel packs, but if you take a closer look at the fine print you'll notice there are three classifications to the label – FSC Mix, FSC Recycled, and FSC 100%.
PEFC certified
The Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an international organisation that works to promote sustainable forest management.
