Why Marley's Matters

Posted by Mindi Brock on

At Marley's Monsters, sustainability isn’t just a mission—it’s a measurable impact. Over the past 12 years, we’ve made a real difference in the fight against single-use waste, and the numbers speak for themselves.

UNpaper® Towels: Small Change, Big Impact

Since 2013, we’ve sold 249,532 packs of UNpaper® Towels, amounting to an incredible 5,988,768 individual UNpaper Towels. These reusable alternatives to paper towels are changing habits worldwide, with just one 24-pack capable of replacing 72 rolls of paper towels each year.

By switching to UNpaper® Towels, our community has eliminated the need for 17,966,304 rolls of paper towels, saving:

  • 152,713 trees

  • 179,663,040 gallons of water

  • 3,000 tons of waste annually

To put it into perspective, the paper towels we’ve eliminated could:

  • Stretch 3-1/2 times the length of the Grand Canyon

  • Stack 250 times taller than Mt. Kilimanjaro

  • Fill an Olympic-sized pool 250 times over

And it’s not just about the planet—it’s about your wallet. By replacing paper towels with UNpaper® Towels, you can save $100 annually or $800 over five years. Together, we’re proving that reusable choices can have a lasting impact.

Toilet Paper: Rethinking the Roll

Since 2021, Marley's Monsters has helped divert 290,530 rolls of toilet paper from landfills annually. That’s a staggering 10,749,610 gallons of water saved every year.

Consider this: the average American uses 141 rolls of toilet paper per year, and each roll requires:

  • 37 gallons of water

  • 1.3 kilowatt-hours of electricity

  • 1.5 pounds of wood

By making the switch, we’re saving valuable resources, one roll at a time.

Sponges: Banishing Microplastics

Disposable sponges are another silent contributor to waste and pollution. In the last five years alone, we’ve prevented 1,526,300 disposable sponges from entering landfills. That’s 305,260 sponges each year no longer breaking down into microplastics that harm our streams, rivers, and oceans.

With 400 million disposable sponges discarded annually in the U.S., the shift to reusable options is essential.

Cotton Rounds: A Beauty Revolution

The average person uses four disposable cotton rounds daily, totaling 1,460 rounds annually. Over the last decade, we’ve helped divert 6,454,960 disposable cotton rounds from landfills.

Our Facial Rounds are a practical, affordable, and eco-friendly alternative. For an initial investment of just $18, they can last for years, saving you over $150 in just five years. Unlike single-use cotton rounds, our Facial Rounds are designed to make both your beauty routine and the planet more sustainable.

A Call to Action

The numbers are clear: small, intentional changes lead to monumental results. From UNpaper® Towels to Facial Rounds, each product in the Marley's Monsters collection helps tackle single-use waste while saving money and conserving resources.

Join us in making a difference. #ThinkReusable—because we still have time to change our future.
