Plastic free towels: 6 Eco- friendly beach towels

Here are the best high quality, plastic free towels for the home or the beach. 

Towels are essential whenever we have a bath or shower because when we’re getting clean, we also need to ensure that we dry ourselves thoroughly.


What you may not know is, most towels available on the market contain synthetic, cheap materials that contain microplastics and harsh or toxic materials that can’t be recycled or naturally degrade.


If you continue to reuse plastic fibre towels, you’re contributing to these microplastics breaking off and polluting our oceans every time you wash the towel.

Natural, plastic free towels aren’t that hard to come by and don’t come with a heavy price tag either. Gentle fabrics are also softer on your skin, which gives better skincare results too. Fabrics like linen, cotton, bamboo and Hamman are the kindest towel fabrics for the environment and your skin. 

In fact, we’ve got our top brands here to give you the best variety. Here’s our best picks.
