What is Recycled Toilet Paper?

At our UK-based tissue converting company, we offer 100% recycled toilet paper in both 2-ply and 3-ply varieties. But what exactly is recycled toilet paper, and how is it made? Let’s dive into some of the common questions people have about this eco-friendly option.

What is Recycled Toilet Paper Made From?

Recycled toilet paper is made from post-consumer waste, meaning paper products that have already been used and discarded. This includes materials like old newspapers, office paper, magazines, and cardboard. Instead of being sent to landfills, these paper products are collected and repurposed to make toilet paper, giving them a second life.

How is Toilet Paper Recycled?

The recycling process for toilet paper begins with the collection of recyclable paper from homes and businesses. Once collected, the paper is sorted and cleaned to remove any contaminants like staples, inks, and adhesives. After this, it is broken down into its basic fibers through a process called pulping, which involves mixing the paper with water.

Once pulped, the fibers are screened and refined to remove any remaining impurities. The cleaned pulp is then ready to be transformed into recycled toilet paper.

How is Recycled Toilet Paper Made?

After the recycling process is complete, the cleaned paper pulp is pressed and dried into thin sheets. These sheets are layered to create either 2-ply or 3-ply toilet paper, offering both comfort and durability. The sheets are then rolled, cut to size, and packaged.

At our tissue converting company, we take it a step further by offering plastic-free packaging for our recycled toilet paper. Our eco-conscious customers can choose to receive their toilet rolls in sturdy, recyclable cardboard boxes, helping to further reduce plastic waste.

Why Choose Recycled Toilet Paper?

Recycled toilet paper is an environmentally friendly option that conserves resources and reduces waste. By using recycled materials, we help divert paper from landfills and reduce the demand for virgin pulp, which requires more energy and water to produce. And with our range of 2-ply and 3-ply options, you can enjoy the comfort and reliability of premium toilet paper without compromising on sustainability.

When you choose recycled toilet paper, you’re making a positive impact on the environment—one roll at a time.
