Why Bamboo ?
Why choose Bamboo ?
It is Stronger & Softer
The natural properties of bamboo make it stronger than paper made from hardwood, but softer and cooler to touch. This makes the bamboo toilet paper convenient to use especially by people with toilet paper irritation or allergic to toilet paper. So, if you take these into consideration you have a washroom product with good quality and great user experience.
Reduces Deforestation
How is toilet paper made? We all know that hardwood turns into paper. Nowadays recycled and organic materials also turn into toilet paper. But trees are still the main ingredient.
Trees take a long time to grow and cutting them causes deforestation. Bamboo paper is derived from bamboo which grows much faster. It is a grass which needs very little maintenance. It also produces much more oxygen and absorbs more carbon.
Safer To Use
Recycled tissue is an alternative to toilet paper but it’s made of chemicals and harsh substances. It is not skin-friendly and may cause toilet paper irritation and a number of other problems to people with sensitive skin. Bamboo paper is odour resistant, antibacterial and antifungal, and hypo-allergic. The process of production doesn’t use harmful chemicals.
Biodegradable
Bamboo toilet paper is 100% biodegradable. In fact, it breaks down while flushed down the toilet. It will not block the system because it quickly decomposes in water. Another great plus is that the production process doesn’t leave any byproducts.
Rapidly Renewable & Sustainable
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on the planet. And it’s technically a grass, so with proper farming, after an initial 3-5 year period to reach maturity, it can be re-harvested year after year, for as many as 40 -70 years. Trees typically take 25-40 years to mature and once harvested don’t always re-grow naturally and a new tree must be planted.
Skin-Friendly
Natural bamboo is hypoallergenic, making it perfect for sensitive skin as it does not cause allergic reactions.
Non-Toxic
Bamboo is a naturally hardy plant with no natural pests, so it can be grown without pesticides, reducing potential exposure to harmful chemicals in the finished paper products. It also avoids exposure to chemicals found in recycled paper, such as BPA, that can be found (albeit in small quantities) in recycled tissue paper.
Oxygen Rich
Bamboo typically produces over 35% more oxygen than trees.
Combat Soil Erosion
Bamboo roots stay in place after harvesting, and retain nutrients for the next harvest. In contrast, soil erosion is a significant problem after trees have been harvested.
Dust Free
bamboo based paper doesn’t produce tissue dust, unlike some wood pulp based papers.
Deforestation Solution
Bamboo requires very few nutrients to grow so it thrives in depleted soil, making it a viable solution to some of the problems associated with deforestation.
