At present, 40% of the world's population don't have access to a toilet. This is a leading contributor to endemic poverty and is a major drag on economic growth in some of the world's poorest countries. Diarrhea related illnesses fill over half sub-Saharan African hospital beds and kill over 2,000 children under 5 every day. We think thats pretty crap. Thats why we give 50% of our profits to WaterAid to build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world. Make Every Wipe Count. Do we believe that the need to wipe shouldn't mean we wipe out the planet. That's why we only use 100% post-consumer waste recycled fibres in our toilet paper. It saves on trees, water, and landfill which means you're doing your bit while doing your bit to help keep our planet great. This is particularly great for a couple of reasons: Firstly, according to the University of Colorado's Environmental Center, recycled paper uses 64 percent less energy and 50 percent less water to produce; creates 74 percent less air pollution; saves 17 trees (per ton of paper produced); and creates five times more jobs than one ton of paper products made from virgin wood pulp. Secondly, according to the WWF, the equivalent of about 270,000 trees is either landfilled or flushed every day. A staggering 10% of this global total is attributable to toilet paper (which obviously can't be recycled again either)!!! We think this is a crazy environmental impact that can easily be avoided by a simple to switch to toilet paper like ours that is made from 100% recycled fibres. Be Good for Your Bum. We don't use any chlorine, inks, dyes or weird perfumes in our toilet paper. We just pulp the clean fibres at super high temperatures to make WGAC biodegradable, safe in septic tanks and as strong as it is silky soft. And since it's only tested on the finest human bottoms, our toilet paper is as good for your bum as it is for the planet.
