Sustainable Toilet Paper
Let’s keep trees out of toilets. Are you with us?
It’s a fact that knocked us right on our tush. Traditional toilet paper is responsible for 15% of the world’s deforestation. Shocked, we went looking for an eco-conscious alternative and found it in bamboo, one of the planet’s most amazing plants. There are incredible benefits to manufacturing our super soft, super strong toilet paper with bamboo. The biggest one is, no trees were harmed in the making of our toilet paper. Not. A. One

Why we’re all for bamboo.
We’ve shared the shocking number of trees that are used to make traditional toilet paper, approximately 27,000 a day. The impact of this is felt across the global ecosystem, affecting climate change and soil erosion, among a host of other issues.
Bamboo grows like a weed, only faster. And it has the lungs of an athlete. And it’s never thirsty.
In contrast, bamboo is a sustainably resilient grass, with off the chart regenerative capabilities. Some versions of bamboo can grow up to three feet a day! And bamboo processes a higher amount of CO2 emissions, which means it cleans more air, faster. Better still, water is a necessary ingredient to produce toilet paper. Bamboo derived paper products need 30% less water than its traditional rivals during the manufacturing process.
It’s pretty simple. You buy a box of HeyBamboo, we plant a tree.
In partnership with One Tree Planted, HeyBamboo will plant a tree for every box of HeyBamboo toilet paper sold.
Trees are an important link to the world’s ecosystem, cleaning our air and water, creating habitats for biodiversity, and contribute to our health and wellbeing.
We’re honored to counter the deforestation of the world’s forests with reforestation through our alliance with One Tree Planted.
