kitchen roll, tissues, paper towel, napkins
Even if it’s clean, kitchen roll is not recyclable. This is because it is made from paper with very short fibres – and in order to be useful for recycling into something new, the fibres would need to be longer. Paper can only be recycled a certain number of times because the fibres get shorter each time. Please put kitchen roll in the general waste.
