Our Premium 100% bamboo toilet paper is luxuriously soft and ultra-strong, with the added bonus of being made without trees. As with our recycled TP, we don’t use any inks, dyes, or scents.

Why bamboo?

Bamboo is a great sustainable option because it’s naturally fast-growing and rapidly renewable. It requires no tending, irrigation or fertilisation and only needs to be harvested once a year (it grows back very quickly after harvesting because it’s technically a grass).

Where does it come from?

The bamboo used in our toilet paper and tissues comes from the Sichuan region of China. We source our bamboo from smallholder farmers with forest management rights, often spanning generations of bamboo care. 

The bamboo is left to grow naturally, often on hillsides in random formations, not in big planted fields. As the leaves are left to fall, they protect the soil, so no artificial fertiliser or irrigation is required. Harvesting bamboo provides seasonal income for local farmers alongside crop farming, which supplements and diversifies their income sources. 

And all of our bamboo farms adhere to the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) standards for socially and environmentally responsible forest management, meaning you can feel good about supporting smallholder farmers when you support Who Gives A Crap.

Bamboo vs Recycled

We did a lot of sourcing work and experimenting before settling on the bamboo fibres we use in our premium toilet paper. Using bamboo has helped us create a toilet paper that’s as strong and soft as anything you’d find in the supermarket. Well, at least as strong as anything outside of yesterday’s bread - those rolls are like rocks!
