Paper Production

Here's a simple way to reuse paper towels!

Materials:

- 1 used paper towel (not stained)

- 1 bowl

- 2 cups boiling water

- 1 spatula

After you are done with your towel, place it in a bowl with boiling water to kill the pathogens(an organism that causes disease). Leave it in the water for about 1 hour and the towel should dissolve into a layer of liquid with paste-like consistency. Use a spatula to scoop this pulp onto a board and smooth out the pulp. Leave the pulp out overnight to dry, and you have a brand new paper towel.
