This means that over 10 million trees are chopped down each year just to make toilet paper. Yes, you read that right: 10 million trees for something we literally flush away.
Forests store half the world’s carbon, help regulate our climate, and provide about 75% of the world’s accessible freshwater. In the last 300 years, we’ve lost 35% of our global forests, which is an area half the size of the United States, and a lot of what’s left has been threatened by human activity.
Now imagine if we all switched to bamboo toilet paper.
We could save those 10 million trees, cut over 1 million tonnes of CO2, and give wildlife and ecosystems a fighting chance.
Wiping shouldn't cost the Earth!
Bamboo isn’t just soft on your bum, it’s kind to the planet too. Unlike trees, which can take 25–40 years to grow (and don’t always grow back), bamboo is the world’s fastest-growing grass. It reaches full size in just 3–5 years and can be harvested every year without harming the plant because it regrows from the same root system.
It’s also incredibly resource-efficient. Bamboo needs far less water than traditional tree crops and grows naturally without pesticides or fertilisers.
It gets better: bamboo produces around 35% more oxygen than trees and can absorb up to 12 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare each year. It even helps heal damaged soil by soaking up toxins, locking in moisture, and helping stop erosion.
Wrapping each toilet roll individually in paper might look fancy but it’s a total waste.
A lot of brands wrap every roll in printed paper, which adds up to thousands of extra wrappers. That’s extra paper production, ink, energy, and emissions, all for packaging that gets ripped off and binned in seconds.
At Bamboo Bobbi, we skip the single-wrapping nonsense. Because being eco-friendly isn’t about looking pretty, it’s about doing what actually matters.
Our rolls are simply packaged in 6, 24, or 48 packs of recycled cardboard of paper, printed with vegan inks and glue.
