Bamboo
Bamboo is a fast growing grass that is perfect for a range of eco-friendly products — including toilet paper. Due to how fast it grows, it’s seen as a completely sustainable product, unlike the trees used in standard toilet paper.
Bamboo is also incredibly strong. This means that it makes great quality, soft, strong toilet paper, plus you won’t have any of the ‘fluff’ that comes from conventional toilet paper.
Bamboo does still require resources to grow, such as water, and still needs to be processed into the final product, but is much more eco-friendly than the standard alternative.
One of the main things to look out for when shopping for eco-friendly paper is whether it contains dyes or is bleached at all.
Most companies will have this at the forefront of their packaging or website, and they won’t be shy about telling consumers that their product is BPA free.
It’s always good to look out for this, as more and more greenwashing companies make claims of using recycled paper, when this only makes up a fraction of the actual product.
Reduce Your Use of Toilet Paper & Choose a Bidet
Bidets are a great option for using less toilet paper and can be a more sanitary option! I just recently started using a bidet and am so happy with this sustainable swap!
It has for sure reduced the toilet paper use in our household! Here is the bidet attachment we have in our house!
