How Eco Friendly Toilet Rolls Help Save Our Trees

The statistical analysis that comes from deforestation is often alarming. It is estimated we cut down 27,000 trees every day to aid toilet paper production. Moreover, toilet paper production accounts for more than 10% of deforestation worldwide.

These figures are alarming, and illustrate that we must do more to find sustainable alternatives to toilet paper. Trees are important, and we must preserve them. Today we explain how eco friendly toilet paper manufacturers are doing the utmost to save our trees. 

Why We Need To Save Our Trees 

So, why exactly do we need to save our trees? There are countless ways trees help the environment. Not only does the environment benefit from trees, but they are endlessly valuable to us.

Trees give us oxygen, and make a valuable contribution towards our economy. Entire industries have been created around the protection and maintenance of trees.

Moreover, they support wildlife by providing a home for birds and insects. 

These are only a few benefits of trees, but we assure you that the list continues. As you can see then, we need trees and cutting them down is a bad idea both short term and long term. And with all the alternatives on the market today, there is little need to cut down our precious trees.  

How Can We Save Our Trees?

Now we are aware of all the ways trees help the environment, you may be wondering if there is anything we can do about it. 

Traditional toilet paper is made from pulp (virgin pulp) that comes directly from trees. To create pulp, small pieces of tree bark are cooked. Once pulp has formed it is dried, strained and bleached

The problem is, of course, trees have to suffer as a part of the production process. Not only this, but other resources such as chemicals, bleaches and water are used in the process.

Eco friendly toilet paper manufacturers have made great strides in recent years, and have attempted to offer products that rely less on harmful production methods. There are a number of eco friendly toilet roll options on the market. The two most popular options, however, are recycled and bamboo toilet paper. 

Although both are a greener alternatives to traditional virgin paper, it is bamboo toilet roll that is the kindest and most environmentally conscious. 

Biodegradable and created using high sustainable and renewable bamboo, this form of toilet paper offers people a way to make a genuine positive contribution. We now know all the ways trees help the environment, so it is important that we make a concerted effort to stop deforestation.
