Death and defecation are two of life’s great levelers: we all have to go through them, without exceptions.
Classic French bidets and futuristic Japanese toilets aside, the alternatives to wiping with paper after visiting the WC don’t bear thinking about. Fortunately, even this area has not been untouched by the ethically minded, which means it is possible to have a bottom as clean as your conscience.
Who Gives a Crap‘s products have no plastic packaging for home or office delivery and include recycled or bamboo loo paper, tissues and paper towels. The loo rolls are furthermore environmentally friendly because they are double the length of standard rolls, and contain no inks or dyes. The bamboo is sustainably grown and harvested, and the loo paper is delivered in 48-roll boxes. You can also do a subscription and receive a box every how many months you decide. What’s more, the company donates 50% of its profits to charity to help build toilets in the developing world.
Meanwhile, Cheeky Panda also makes bamboo loo roll (from sustainable sources), as well as bamboo baby wipes, nappies, tissues and kitchen roll – all certified by the Vegan Society and Cruelty Free International, and none of it containing the chemicals found in the standard alternatives.
Other green loo roll companies with similar credentials include Bumboo and Ecoleaf.
