Eco- friendly toilet tissue papers Green washing or green wiping?

 

With so many products claiming to be eco-friendly let's find out how many toilet tissue papers that claim to be environmentally "strong" choices really hold up - or do they simply get flushed out as greenwashing and not green wiping? 

Green wiping or green washing toilet tissue paper

Green Forest Bathroom Tissue 
  • Fiber Content: Made from a minimum of 90% post-consumer recycled paper
  • Whitened without chlorine -- Processed Chlorine Free (PCF) 
  • Hypo-allergenic, 
  • No dyes, No fragrances
  • Safe for use in septic systems. 

Scott Naturals Bathroom Tissue

  • Fiber Content: 40% Recycle
  • Packaging contains a minimum of 20% post consumer recycled plastic
  • All Scott Brand cores are made with 100% recycled fiber
  • 12 mega rolls = 30 single rolls

Seventh Generation

  • So before you buy, or wipe ask yourself these three questions when considering the eco-friendliness of your tissue paper:


Was the paper and packaging made from recycled materials?

Is the paper chlorine/chemical free?

Is the paper biodegradable?

 Then see how much green you are really saving with your toilet tissue.  As you can see there are some real green tissue papers on the market, like Seventh Generation that can even save you some green.
