GREAT THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU USE JUST ONE LESS ROLL OF PAPER TOWELS EACH WEEK
You save $80 each year
Paper towels ain't cheap. America uses more paper towels than the rest of the world, combined, and spends $6 billion each year. Its a habit worth breaking.
Trees sing your praises
If you share ALT with one other friend, together you can save a tree each year. If every American home used one less roll of paper towels each week, we can save 24 million trees every year.
The air gets cleaner
Methane from decomposing paper in landfills and the fuel used in production of paper towels contribute 434 lb of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas emissions each year. That's the same as burning 200 lbs of coal!
We conserve freshwater
Nearly 750 gallons of water can be saved - thats the amount of freshwater you use around the home for 10 days and burn less fuel...to make electricity - nearly 700,000 Btu/year. That's enough to power your house for a whole week each year.

Responsible Sourcing
When we set out to make clean, high-performing products, sourcing safer ingredients was at the forefront of our mind. Over the years, we have worked hard to build a responsible sourcing program to continually address high risk ingredients including: vanilla, mica and palm oil. We’re committed to selecting ingredients and materials that prioritize the people and the planet for generations to come.
Sustainable Packaging
When it comes to product packaging, it’s not just what’s inside that counts. We’ve been careful to assess the impact our packaging may have on the environment—as well as our health. Bottom line, our packaging has high standards, too. Here’s how our sustainable packaging initiatives are making clean beauty look even better.
Climate Goals
Climate change and sustainability are ever-evolving fields that are shifting daily with developments in science and research and new information about how changing environments are impacting people’s health. As leaders in clean beauty, we share our goals and wins so that the environmental, economic, and social impacts of our efforts can continue to hold us accountable to do better.
