Can you hardly decide yet?
Then you're just like me! :)
If you, like me, prefer to avoid plastic packaging and focus on sustainability, you can also use refill packs with plastic-free paper tissues.
My tip: They are even more sustainable when made from bamboo, because bamboo is a fast-growing raw material. It grows up to 1 meter per day. ➡ Order plastic-free paper tissues here!*
The basic dimensions of the tissues may differ slightly from those of conventional tissues. However, you can easily adjust them to the size of the tissues. Usually, it is enough to shorten the long sides slightly.
