Switching to eco-friendly toilet paper is one small step you can take to make a big environmental impact. At Doogood, we’re dedicated to creating a more sustainable future by offering toilet paper that minimizes resource use and reduces carbon emissions. By choosing Doogood, you’re supporting eco-friendly materials like bamboo and recycled paper—options that are better for our planet and just as soft and reliable as traditional TP.
The Environmental Impact of Conventional Toilet Paper: Every day, millions of trees are cut down worldwide to meet the demand for traditional toilet paper. This widespread deforestation depletes natural resources and increases carbon emissions. Did you know that a single roll of conventional toilet paper requires about 37 gallons of water and produces around 0.6 kg of CO₂ emissions? Those numbers add up quickly when you consider that the average person uses over 140 rolls annually.
At Doogood, we’ve worked hard to offer you an alternative. Our bamboo-based toilet paper comes from one of the most sustainable resources on Earth. Bamboo grows back quickly—reaching maturity in three to five years—and regenerates naturally after each harvest. It also absorbs more CO₂ than traditional trees, helping reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Why Bamboo and Recycled Paper Are Greener Options: Bamboo and recycled paper are the champions of eco-friendly TP options. Bamboo is incredibly sustainable: it doesn’t require pesticides, needs less water, and grows much faster than hardwood trees. This means we can create a product that’s gentler on the planet without compromising on softness or strength. With Doogood’s bamboo TP, you’re getting a product made with sustainability in mind from start to finish.
Recycled paper is another great alternative. By repurposing post-consumer waste, we help keep paper out of landfills and reduce energy consumption in the production process. Our recycled TP is processed chlorine-free, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals and reducing water pollution.
Making the Switch to Doogood Eco-Friendly TP: Switching to eco-friendly TP is simple with Doogood. We recommend starting by tracking your household’s TP use—most U.S. households use around 140 rolls per person each year. Our bamboo TP provides the same softness and durability you expect, but with the added benefit of knowing you’re helping the environment with every sheet. Plus, buying in bulk reduces packaging waste and your carbon footprint even further.
When shopping, look for eco-friendly certifications like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) seal. All Doogood products meet these rigorous standards, guaranteeing sustainable sourcing practices. By choosing Doogood, you’re choosing a TP option that’s both good for you and better for our planet.
Other Steps to a Sustainable Bathroom: Beyond eco-friendly toilet paper, consider other ways to reduce your bathroom’s environmental impact. Adding a bidet attachment can lower your TP use by up to 75%. Composting options are also available for our unbleached bamboo TP, allowing you to further reduce waste.
The Doogood Promise: At Doogood, we believe that sustainable choices should be accessible and effective. Our bamboo and recycled paper toilet paper offers a quality product you can rely on while helping to create a healthier planet. Every roll you choose with Doogood saves trees, reduces water and energy use, and cuts down on harmful emissions.
Conclusion
Making the switch to eco-friendly TP is an easy, impactful choice. When you choose Doogood, you’re not just switching to a greener product; you’re making a commitment to a more sustainable lifestyle. So why not make a positive impact with every roll? Together, we can do good for the planet, one bathroom at a time.
