Product Information

Did you know that at least 14 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean each year? This harmful substance is injuring and killing fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. In many countries, toilet paper isn’t commonly used and, as suggested by the quote below, many consider it uncivilised, preferring to wash with water. So, in a market dominated by virgin wood fibre, we think bamboo is a good ethical option. There are risks, however, as discussed above, so it’s important to hold bamboo toilet paper companies to account for their sourcing and production. It’s never been more important that we come together and work as a team to prevent further destruction to our ocean. It’s in everyone’s best interest!

In this article, we will investigate the environmental impact of toilet paper. We will examine how manufacturers make toilet paper, its impact on the environment, and how traditional toilet paper is due an eco-friendly reboot. Toilet paper consumption The St. Andrews Paper Mill in England in 1942 invented the first two-ply toilet paper which was softer and more pliable. Even softer toilet paper was introduced in the 1970s thanks to a new process that allowed the paper to air dry instead of having the water squeezed out of it. Should toilet paper be under or over? When toilet paper is made from virgin fiber releases three times as much carbon, contributing a higher carbon footprint than tissue paper made from other materials. Recycled ContentA small amount of paper is produced using alternatives to chlorine such as oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide. This process is known as Totally Chlorine Free (TCF). It’s not enough to consider how bamboo is grown or the properties of the plant itself. Turning the crop into toilet paper involves many processes, all of which have impacts that can vary depending on how they’re done. Today, toilet paper alternatives can help solve the environmental issues caused by unsustainable toilet paper production and consumption. Sustainable toilet paper Let’s put it bluntly: If you eat seafood, such as tuna, prawns, salmon, or lobster, you are contributing to the destruction of our ocean. But you don’t eat whales or dolphins *shudder*, of course not, so that’s a little bit better, right?

These ocean crafts for kids are adorable and make a great learning theme coming up to the Summer months. Please tell me which one is your favorite! My easy crab and pencil holders are other examples of ocean toilet paper roll crafts.

I was brought up in a Sri Lankan family where the culture was to wash ourselves after opening our bowels. It was thought bad parenting to let a child have a dirty bottom as paper does not clean children or adults properly and leaves one with an 'itchy bottom' ... Using a basin is a small amount of water and there is nothing to fear and lots to learn from washing your own bottom."

The pulp is then mixed with a large amount of water and put into a machine that has rotor blades. As the blades turn, they act as a giant blender, mixing the water while also ensuring the wood chips are diced into very small pieces. We asked readers if they used any alternatives to toilet paper and 35 people responded (thank you!). 11 used water in some way, 10 used a reusable cloth that they’d either bought or made themselves and one used cut up newspaper squares – some only used their alternative for #1s but most for #1s and #2s. Others still used paper but were trying to use less or buy an ethical brand. People’s reasons for switching were mainly environment related and because they thought it was cleaner. PFAs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals that possess water and grease-repelling properties and are used in thousands of consumer products. Known as ' forever chemicals' because they don’t break down in water, they can spread over long distances and are toxic to humans and wildlife, interfering with hormonal, reproductive and immune systems. Given the benefits of recycled paper, you’d think companies would be using as much of it as possible. But sadly, that’s not the case and the use of recycled paper by the three big companies is decreasing. Tissue paper products account for about 8% of the paper industry, although this is increasing as rising disposable incomes and improving living standards, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, are driving growth in toilet paper use.This forest is a central ecosystem essential to fighting climate change. It stores more carbon dioxide than any other forest on earth, holding about 12% of carbon in its plant and soils. Summer is filled with a ton of fun summer crafts for kids like this toilet paper roll octopus. Join us and our under the sea fun to celebrate this great season.
