It doesn’t tend to be as soft as bamboo, but it’s often made more locally. We understand that every household is unique, which is why our toilet roll subscription is fully customisable.

How long does a box last? I had a feeling there was probably more to it, then I found the answer in the Who Gives A Crap FAQ: The first toilet paper on a roll was produced by The Scott Paper Company in Philadelphia, USA, in 1879. It was the first-time rolls were used instead of sheets and also the first-time toilet roll became commercially available for everyone.It’s the classic debate – should your toilet roll be placed with the first sheet underneath or over the top? While this mostly comes down to preference, it turns out that there is a right way. Living a sustainable lifestyle can sometimes feel overwhelming, but a toilet roll subscription makes it effortless. You’re contributing to a cleaner planet without any extra effort – it’s a win-win! By choosing a subscription, you’re making a positive change for the environment with every flush. 6. Customisable to Your Needs The bag is not home-compostable.You will need to pop it in your kerbside food waste bin if you have one, and your local council allows you to place this type of material in your food waste bin.If your local council does not collect this type of material it will have to go to landfill, where it won’t probably won’t ever compost. The other key factor for me is money. When the default zero waste option involves spending quite a bit of money upfront, it’s hardly intersectional. Not everyone has the financial ability to buy 5 or 6 months’ worth of toilet paper in one go.

As well as being plastic-free, 50% of Who Gives A Crap profits go to clean water charities.These include WaterAid Australia and WaterAid America.

I know what you’re thinking here – what’s not to love Wendy?I do deeply admire the charitable giving nature of Who Gives A Crap.And of course, I love the plastic-free element.What doesn’t sit well with me is the fact that each roll of toilet paper is individually wrapped.That’s a lot of unnecessary paper from one box of 48 toilet rolls. Toilet tissue, however, was invented by Joseph Gayetty in the USA in the 19th century. He built the first factory in 1857 that produced paper exclusively for toilet use claiming it to be a medical product and his name was printed on every sheet. W e think they look cute. They work wonders as an online product because they’re eye-catching and shareable.
