The Toilet Paper Mafia Unmasked: The Reality
Sustainability is in, and the world of toilet paper is no exception. But with all the marketing claims and "green" initiatives, it can be hard to separate fact from fiction. We dive into the world of what we at The Good Roll call the "toilet paper mafia" to help you find the truth, especially when it comes to sustainable bamboo toilet paper.
The importance of sheet count
When buying toilet paper, especially sustainable toilet paper, the number of sheets per roll is a crucial factor. Don't be tempted by low prices or special offers without first checking the sheet count. The reality is that cheaper rolls often contain fewer sheets.
The illusion of thick rolls
Thicker rolls of toilet paper may give you the idea that you are getting more value for your money, but that is often not the case. In fact, many brands make their rolls thicker to make it seem like you're getting more paper.
The power of sustainable alternatives
Virgin paper, by definition, is not sustainable. Fortunately, there are better alternatives that don't require cutting down trees. Such as elephant grass, hemp and, of course, bamboo. These sustainable materials can be used to make high-quality bamboo toilet paper.
Opting for compact rolls
Compact rolls, especially those with more sheets, are a smart choice. They are specially designed to increase capacity, allowing you to use almost 100% of toilet paper by avoiding wasting residual rolls. In addition, high-capacity compact rolls help reduce service calls and the risk of exhaustion. This means you get more paper with less transportation and packaging - a true win-win situation!
The Power of Labels and Research
Last, but certainly not least: do your research! Look at the labels, check the claims and make sure you know exactly what you're buying. Whether you are buying sustainable toilet paper for the first time or are a seasoned green consumer, knowledge is power when it comes to navigating the world of the "toilet paper mafia.
Conclusion
At The Good Roll, we know that the world of sustainable toilet paper can be a maze of claims and initiatives. But with the right knowledge and a little research, you can find your way to sustainability - and maybe even add a little bamboo toilet paper to your bathroom.
In your quest for sustainability, remember that not everything is as it seems. Don't be fooled by the illusions of the "toilet paper mafia. Instead, opt for compact rolls with more sheets, watch out for so-called "thick" paper, and avoid virgin paper whenever possible. And remember: bamboo is your friend.
