Toilet Paper Wrapped In Paper Not Plastic

One more plastic problem solved.

Toilet paper wrapped in paper not plastic.

A year ago i started hearing about an aussie toilet paper brand called who gives a crap that came wrapped in paper. I ve been leaning towards seventh generation individually wrapped 2 ply rolls of toilet paper because they are not only plastic free but they also contain the highest percentage of post consumer recycled content i ve been able to find. As with seventh generation toilet paper the rolls come individually wrapped in thin paper. Paper and biodegradable plant based cellophane when purchased from other retailers.

What these rolls have that seventh gen s don t is the statement 50 of our profits are donated to build toilets. This toilet paper arrives naked ie not individually wrapped in a cardboard box. If all goes well paper packaging will be rolled out across the country on all aldi s packs of toilet paper. Look for toilet paper at an office supply store or order from amazon.

One of our readers akiyo contacted us to say she and her husband had found a solution. In fact zero wasters especially those of us based in the uk have had a bit of a bum deal when it comes to finding loo roll wrapped in paper instead of plastic. They reckon this could save 935 tonnes of plastic a year so quite a big deal.

It s sealed with paper tape when ordered as 48 rolls direct from green cane. It s not a huge issue that toilet paper is wrapped in polythene because we can recycle it along with carrier bags at our local supermarket but we still like to reduce plastic use as much as possible. Marcal toilet paper another eco friendly option for toilet paper without plastic packaging is 100 recycled with 504 2 ply sheets per roll and 48 rolls per case in a roll out package useful in storage and dispensing. Whitened without chemicals containing chlorine bleach dyes or fragrances marcal is lint free and septic safe.

Opt for toilet paper wrapped in paper instead of plastic. Paper whilst plastic free isn t environmentally neutral. 28 15 84 100 sheets 75 00 75 00. 48 rolls for 25 20 plus delivery.

I have since switched to a different brand of toilet paper. That s a lot of unnecessary paper from one box of 48 toilet rolls.
