The toilet paper industry is a major contributor to deforestation around the world. It is reported that in the last 20 years, the use of paper products in the US has grown from 92 million tons to over 200 million tons. While only representing 5% of the world population, the US consumes 30% of the global paper supply. So, why choose bamboo? Bamboo is a fast growing plant that shares some of the same benefits of trees -  produces oxygen and stores carbon - but its rapid growth makes it a much more sustainable option to meet the demand for paper goods. A key benefit to bamboo is that it is a grass, meaning it regrows from the same root system when harvested, causing less disruption to soil and ecosystems. Every use of toilet paper from bamboo is an active step towards protecting our planet and combating deforestation. Learn more and make the switch to our bamboo paper products.

Making bamboo toilet paper is similar to regular TP. After harvesting the bamboo, the bamboo is broken down into pulp, which is then pressed into bales, and eventually converted into tissue paper. The main focus of our process is eliminating harsh chemicals like dyes, ink, and BPAs so you can enjoy a clean bath tissue product for your home.
