The EcoSoft toilet paper name tellls us the two of the most important things we, as Americans want to know about toilet paper: is it good for the environment and is it soft. 

The fact is that the process of converting virgin pulp from living trees into toilet paper uses significantly more water than recycled paper.  Great brands like EcoSoft toilet paper go a long way toward making use of the countless tons of paper that ends up in landfills. At GreenLine Paper Company, we chose to carry EcoSoft toilet paper for many more reasons than its environmental certifications.  We found its increasing use in office, hotel, restaurant and retail bathrooms coupled with the overwhelming positive response of patrons to using it as an important sign.  It is quickly making inroads into homes as well.  With EcoSoft toilet paper, you get a high quality toilet tissue that meets the demands of most Americans for quality and price while also meeting the needs of the planet in terms of saving mature trees.Price of Toilet Paper for the Planet Toilet paper is a quiet giant in the global economy: though it rarely makes headlines, demand for the fluffy white stuff has steadily risen over the past few decades, and more than 18 million tons were sold in 2010.

Every ton of toilet paper produced requires about 1.75 tons of raw fiber. The amount of wood harvested annually may need to triple by 2050 to meet projected global demands for all industries—including pulp and paper. Fifty percent of the fibers used to produce pulp for tissue goods come from recycled sources. Natural forests, plantations and tree farms supply the other 50%—and it’s often difficult to trace those virgin fibers to the specific forests they came from.

In Indonesia, meanwhile, deforestation has roughly doubled over the last decade—and most of that increase is driven by pulp and paper and palm oil production. Average amount of toilet paper used by Americans per capita in a year. That’s roughly 130 rolls. The US is the world’s biggest buyer of toilet paper. Brazil’s pulp and paper industry uses 5.4 million acres of planted forests, which were established on land that had been previously cleared for other purposes. And for every acre of forest used, about 1.3 acres have been restored or preserved in the country. Sumatra is an ecological metropolis: the Indonesian island’s forests shelter 580 bird species and more than 200 mammal species, including critically endangered Sumatran tigers and elephants. But more than half of those forests have disappeared since 1985, and US markets have recently seen an influx of products made with fibers from Sumatran trees. The Forest and the Trees If you’re not sure where the toilet paper in your grocery store, school or hotel comes from, ask the management or call the manufacturer—and make sure they offer FSC®-certified products.

FSC certification, the most rigorous such program available, ensures that forests are well managed, habitats are protected and local communities’ rights are respected.

That’s why at Who Gives A Crap, we promise to: Flush Poverty Down the Loo 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.

Diarrhoea related illnesses fill over half sub-Saharan African hospital beds and kill over 2,000 children under 5 every day. We think that’s pretty crap. That’s why we give 50% of our profits to WaterAid to build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world. Make Every Wipe Count 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, 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, the equivalent of about 270,000 trees is either landfilled or flushed every day and 10% of this global total is from toilet paper!
