There seems to be a silly notion going around that recycled toilet paper is made from well...recycled toilet paper. This is VERY far from the truth. It is, in fact, just reused paper of a non-toilet origin.
Tissue paper is big business: The global tissue industry is worth over $30 billion dollars annually, and has grown by nearly 4% per year in the past decade. Since about 270,000 trees are flushed down the drain or end up as garbage all over the world, we can take the simple step of using recycled tissue paper and do our part to cut down on the environmental impact.
There are many varieties of recycled paper our there and you can try different brands to discover which you like most. You can review the different brands and their recycled content here.
This is a small change that can make a huge difference in your environmental footprint. Take the extra step, make a small change and it will be a painless transition.
