Kitchen roll
The kitchen roll (also kitchen paper, kitchen paper or household paper ) describes a special absorbent paper that is pre-perforated and sold rolled up on cardboard rolls. It is mainly used for drying surfaces in the kitchen and household, for degreasing fried food, drying meat and for wiping away dirt or liquids.
Environmental pollution
Due to the high proportion of paper fibers and the impossibility of feeding these fibers into the recycling cycle in disposable products, the Federal Environment Agency advises recycling products.
