Enter our newest addition to our offerings- FSC Certified organic Bamboo toilet paper by our friends at PlantPaper!
We were mortified to learn that toilet paper contains the nasty of nastiest chemicals… but not surprised :/ It takes over a gallon of chemicals to create 1 roll of tree toilet paper, including bleaching agents, formaldehyde, and a handful of known carcinogens. While these chemicals are present in amounts that don’t exceed current FDA regulations, an ever-expanding body of research indicates that toilet paper made with such chemicals is the cause of urinary tract infections, vulvar irritation, hemorrhoids, and a host of other maladies we’d all prefer to avoid.
There are six main PFAS compounds that account for the majority of PFAS that is detected in toilet paper and other household products—PFHxA, PFOA, PFDA, 6:2 diPAP, 6:2/8:2 diPAP, and 8:2 diPAP. PlantPaper tested for all six of these, in addition to 22 additional compounds, which are far less prevalent. We tested PlantPaper for all 28 of these, and had zero detections.PlantPaper rolls are made of 100% FSC® Certified, unbleached bamboo, one of the world’s fastest growing plants, capable of growing up to three feet in 24 hours. It requires little water, no fertilizer and regenerates on its own after cutting.
The more regularly bamboo is harvested, the faster it grows. Yes! PlantPaper breaks down easily in septic systems.There are 200 sheets/roll; PlantPaper sheets have about 20 percent more surface area than typical rolls. Each roll contains 3655 square inches of paper, or 25.4 square feet, spread across 200 sheets.

Leaves No Trace
Toilet paper is supposed to leave you feeling clean, but is yours really getting the job done? Even the softest, strongest tree paper pills, shreds and tears, leaving unwanted artifact behind. PlantPaper’s silky, strong fibers, along with its unique dimpled pattern, mean it performs better and leaves nothing behind.
Contains No Chemicals
Turning hard wood into soft paper isn't easy. It requires 37 gallons of water per roll, and a gallon of toxic chemicals like bleach and formaldehyde. These chemicals poison our waterways and accumulate in our bodies, leading to UTIs, hemorrhoids and fissures. PlantPaper uses soft, resilient plant pulp that requires less processing and no harsh chemicals or bleach, making it softer on you and the environment.
Harms No Trees
27,000 trees per day get flushed down the world’s toilets. This results in an irreversible loss of animal habitat and soil erosion. PlantPaper is derived exclusively from fast-growing, renewable sources of bamboo- one of the world’s fastest growing plants, capable of growing up to three feet in 24 hours. It requires little water, no fertilizer and regenerates on its own after cutting. The more regularly bamboo is harvested, the faster it grows. Yes!
