Instead of using trees and wood waste to make toilet paper, we should switch to toilet paper made from bamboo – to cut down bamboo instead of trees. I am not understanding how this is better: honeycomb – soft & sustainable toilet tissue (honeycombluxury.com)
$2.75 per roll, 340 squares per roll, shipped across country (shipping is of course energy and carbon free – not): honeycomb – soft & sustainable toilet tissue (honeycombluxury.com)
Or you could visit Walmart and spend about 61 cents per roll for 320 “sheets” per roll.
Honeycomb toilet paper doesn’t seem like a viable business model when the costs are about 4 and one half times greater than the old wood pulp based paper rolls.
FYI – our used toilet paper ends up in our septic tank. Once every 4 to 5 years, the pre-composted sludge is taken away to our local city-run sewage treatment center where it is processed, ultimately, into fertilizer for non-food crops. (Why non-food crops? Because sewage may contain other elements that are hard to process or extract – but are safe for use on non-food crops.)
