Anzu360: World’s First Bamboo Hand Towel Recycling Company

At Anzu, we’re proud to be the world’s first company to recycle bamboo hand towel paper using our patent‑pending, closed‑loop Anzu360 process. This pioneering model not only redefines tissue sustainability—it sets a new global standard for circular economy in hygiene products.

Why Bamboo? A Greener Choice

Sustainably sourced and fast-growing, bamboo requires minimal water and no pesticides—making it an ideal raw material for eco-conscious tissue products. Our bamboo towels are biodegradable, plastic‑free, hypoallergenic, and carbon‑conscious—helping reduce carbon footprint by up to 30% versus conventional paper tissue options.

The Anzu360 Recycling Towel Process

We’ve designed a circular, seven‑step recycling process that transforms used bamboo towels into brand-new packaging, reinforcing sustainable materials and minimizing waste:

  1. Use in Restrooms – Bamboo towels are used for hand drying in restrooms.
  2. Collection & Segregation – Used towels are deposited into dedicated recycling bins.
  3. Transport to Facility – Towels are collected and taken to our recycling plant.
  4. Sorting & Pre‑processing – Materials are sorted, cleaned, and prepared for pulping.
  5. Blending with Cardboard – Towels are mixed with used cardboard or cartons for fiber reintegration.
  6. Reforming into Products – The pulp blend is converted into packaging such as cartons and boards.
  7. Distribution – Recycled, ready‑to‑use products are distributed, completing the loop.

This diagrammatic flow emphasises a truly closed‑loop model—showcasing sustainability in action.

Safety & Quality: Lab‑Verified Results

We conducted laboratory tests on both recycled carton boxes and recycled paper products in Dubai. Results confirm:

Carton Box Sample

  • Total Plate Count: 20 CFU/50cm² (USFDA BAM Chapter 3, limit <100)
  • Total Coliforms: <10 CFU/50cm² (CMMFF 5th Ed., limit <10)

Paper Material Sample

  • Total Plate Count: 10 CFU/50cm²
  • Total Coliforms: <10 CFU/50cm²

In both cases, samples were deemed of satisfactory quality—meeting or exceeding microbiological safety standards. These clean results validate that recycled materials remain hygienically safer for reuse.

A Truly Unique Model—Globally Unmatched

Our model is the first to process and recycle bamboo‑based hand towel paper, using a patent‑pending method to blend reclaimed bamboo towel fiber with cardboard waste, reform the pulp, and create new, consumer‑safe packaging.

Leveraging our local presence in the UAE and alignment with forward‑looking policies such as the Federal Decree‑Law No. 11 of 2024 on Climate Change and the UAE Circular Economy Strategy (2021–2031), Anzu is helping the region meet ambitious sustainability targets while avoiding traditional waste systems.

What Makes Our Patent‑Pending Process Stand Out

Truly Bamboo‑Based: We exclusively process bamboo towel paper blending it with cardboard to generate new pulp.

Closed‑Loop System: From restroom use to recycled product distribution, our circular system minimizes virgin inputs.

Microbiologically Safe: Lab testing demonstrates hygienic compliance even for reused material.

Linked to National Goals: Our innovation supports UAE’s environmental legislation, sustainability mandates, and carbon reduction strategy.

Why It Matters

Environmental Impact: Redirects used bamboo tissue from landfill or incineration, promotes fiber recovery and material reuse.

Business Value: Enhances ESG credentials, helps businesses meet sustainability targets, and supports traceable recycling metrics.

Brand Leadership: Positions Anzu as a global pioneer in bamboo towel recycling—a story of innovation and responsibility.

Toward Zero Waste—and Beyond

At Anzu, every recycled towel is a statement: toward sustainability, closed‑loop innovation, and a cleaner tomorrow. From restroom to recycled packaging, our Anzu360 model is proof that bamboo-based hygiene products can be both luxurious and circular.

Anzu Products — Better choices. Better planet.
