This is a collage, in this image in the foreground there are three glasses, in the glasses there is drink, straws, and on the left side there are some leaves in the glass. And at the bottom of the glass, there are tissue papers and at the bottom there is a table and in the background there are some objects.

Blow Tissues reinvents the humble tissue box with sustainability in mind

A new tissue brand is aiming to cut down on waste and simplify household shopping. Blow Tissues, founded by Kansas entrepreneur Ariel Westphal, offers a refillable system with a stylish reusable box and bamboo-based tissues. The subscription model targets both sustainability and convenience for everyday users.

Westphal created Blow Tissues after growing frustrated with flimsy, unattractive tissue boxes. Her solution combines a clear, design-grade container with five-ply bamboo tissues infused with lotion. Each sheet is about 20 percent larger than standard options and free from PFAS chemicals.

The starter Blow Kit costs $32 and includes the reusable box, two 90-sheet refills, and a cleaning cloth. Subscribers can then order refills for $15 (two packs) or $24 (four packs), with free shipping every month or two. Future plans include seasonal colours and limited-edition box designs to match home decor. Traditional tissue boxes rarely get recycled due to their thin, non-corrugated cardboard. Blow Tissues addresses this by reducing packaging waste through its refill system. The brand has already gained attention, including a shoutout from Spanx founder Sara Blakely on Instagram.

Blow Tissues enters the market with a focus on sustainability and aesthetics. The subscription service aims to minimise household waste while offering a premium product. Customers can now order the starter kit or refills directly through the brand’s website.
