Donna Malena Clean up the planet with sustainable toilet paper
Switching to ethical toilet roll, such as bamboo toilet paper or recylced toilet roll, is a simple way to help the planet. Bamboo grows five times faster than trees, so it is a more efficient and sustainable way to produce ethical toilet paper.
Bamboo toilet paper also uses 65% less carbon than tree-based paper, so it’s much better for the climate. Here are five recycled and bamboo toilet rolls made by climate-conscious brands who use plastic-free packaging.
The Cheeky Panda
Made from sustainable bamboo, The Cheeky Panda Eco Friendly Toilet Paper is three-ply, strong and very soft. It’s available in packs of four and nine and you can also buy up to 48 rolls in bulk. It’s possible to save money by signing up to a subscription of the bulk bamboo toilet roll.
There are 200 sheets in every roll and the packaging is completely plastic free. The company uses surplus virgin pulp bamboo from sustainably sourced forests and is B Corp Certified, which means they achieve high environmental standards.
Feel Good
If you’re looking for a sustainable toilet roll you can buy in supermarkets, then Feel Good Eco Toilet Paper is the one for you. This 100% recycled toilet paper is available at Waitrose, Ocado and Booths and its bright and bold packaging is plastic free.
The toilet roll is made in the UK from recycled office paper and newspapers and it’s strong and super absorbent. You get 190 sheets per roll and it comes in packs of nine.

You might have heard of Who Gives a Crap, thanks to their marketing campaigns and eye-catching packaging, which is plastic free. The fun Where’s The Loo? Edition even features puzzles for you to do while you’re on the loo.
