About Shop Towels

TRSA has compiled shop towel-related resources including research, best practices and reusable vs. disposable comparisons to help members retain business. In addition, TRSA has posted a toolkit to comply with the EPA’s “Conditional Exclusions from Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste for Solvent-Contaminated Wipes; Final Rule” which codifies best practices for handling reusable shop towels including a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and other materials designed to help launderers, customers, employees, and route drivers to comply.

From the moment they are manufactured through their industrial use and disposal, reusables have less environmental impact than disposables and are more economical.
