10 Main Reasons Why Bamboo Toilet 
Paper is Great For The Environment 
and You!
  
If you’re looking to reduce your ecological 
footprint you may ask yourself, is bamboo toilet 
paper good for the environment? switching to 
using bamboo toilet paper instead of 
conventional toilet paper is a great place to start. 
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on the 
planet, reaching its maximum height in just four 
months – and some species can even grow up 
to a metre in one day! Pretty amazing.
  
It Helps Prevent Deforestation
Is bamboo toilet paper good for the environment? 
The answer is a resounding yes. When you buy 
bamboo toilet paper, you are supporting the 
environment by choosing forest-friendly products 
that help prevent the destruction of trees. Trees 
are vital to our existence on earth, absorbing the 
carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere 
that drive global warming. Trees also produce 
oxygen, helping our planet to breathe and creating 
a healthier environment for humans and animals 
to live in.
  
Bamboo Toilet Paper is 
Biodegradable
Bamboo is 100 per cent biodegradable, breaking 
down quickly and easily. This reduces impact on 
landfills, is better for soil quality and reduces the 
number of leftover, unusable by-products during 
production. Not only is this better for the 
environment, it also means long-term cost savings 
for producers, manufacturers and consumers. 
Bamboo toilet paper is also safe for septic 
systems as it disintegrates naturally.
  
It Reduces Paper Consumption
Using bamboo as an earth-friendly alternative 
significantly reduces consumption of hardwood-
made paper. The production of standard paper 
products such as toilet tissue and paper towels 
has a far-reaching environmental impact. 
According to National Geographic, the equivalent 
of almost 270,000 trees are either flushed or 
dumped in landfill every day worldwide. Roughly 
10 per cent of that total is attributable to toilet 
paper – a whopping 27,000 trees lost, just to wipe 
our bums!
  
It’s Stronger and Softer
Bamboo is a naturally strong material – it’s as 
strong as steel and stronger than hard wood 
trees. Bamboo toilet paper is also super soft and 
thick, so it’s gentle on your bum, giving you all the 
comfort and absorbency you need.
  
It Uses Less Water
Bamboo needs far less water than trees in order 
to grow. In fact, it’s estimated that bamboo uses 
thirty per cent less water than hardwood trees. 
The average roll of toilet paper requires around 37 
gallons of water to produce. Unfortunately high 
water use is a fairly common issue when it comes 
to paper manufacturing operations. By buying 
products that use less water we are making an 
active choice as consumers to help reduce our 
impact on the planet.
  
It Needs Less Space to Grow 
Compared With Trees
Bamboo grows incredibly densely, meaning that 
less land is used to grow it compared with hard 
wood trees. Bamboo is also less harmful to soil. In 
terms of raw material, you can get plenty more 
bamboo from a square kilometre than you can 
hard wood, making it a much better choice for the 
 environment.  
Bamboo is a Super Versatile 
Material
Bamboo is an incredibly sustainable plant, known 
for being one of the most tolerant species in the 
world. Bamboo can be propagated easily and can 
survive in five of the world’s eight climate zones, 
meaning it can be grown in a variety of different 
environments. This, coupled with the fact that it’s 
so fast-growing, makes it one of the most 
sustainable and versatile plants around.
  
It Reduces Plastic Packaging
Typically, because bamboo toilet paper is 
produced by environmentally conscious 
companies, you are unlikely to find bamboo toilet 
paper wrapped in plastic packaging. Pure Planet 
Club tree-free toilet paper is hand-wrapped 
individually in paper. Our pretty marine-inspired 
designs look great in any bathroom and the paper 
can be reused for wrapping. While toilet paper is 
something most of us don’t want to go without, it 
doesn’t have mean we need to resort to using 
plastic. Sustainable packaging is just another one 
of the many benefits of using bamboo toilet 
 paper.!  
Bamboo Toilet Paper has Fewer 
Nasties
Bamboo toilet paper is usually free of the dyes, 
chemicals and fragrances often used in regular 
toilet paper. Trees which are grown for the 
production of regular toilet paper rely on 
pesticides and chemicals for improved growth, 
damaging the natural environment in order to 
produce more unsustainable products – a bum 
deal for our precious planet!
  
It’s a Better Option For Our 
Animal Friends
Tree-free products are less of threat to animal 
habitats. The species of bamboo used for 
products such as toilet paper are not consumed 
by pandas, so when you use bamboo toilet paper, 
you know your product choice is not furthering the 
endangerment of this beautiful species. In 
comparison, converting native forests to 
plantations to generate pulp has had huge 
ramifications for wildlife such as the orangutans of 
Southeast Asia, for example.
