Chemicals and Pollution in Conventional Toilet Paper

Chemicals and Pollution in Conventional Toilet Paper

Jun 23, 2023

The production of conventional toilet paper often involves the use of harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and synthetic fragrances.


These chemicals are used to achieve the bright white appearance of the toilet paper and to mask any unpleasant odors.


However, these chemical additives can have detrimental effects on both human health and the environment.


Chlorine-based bleaching processes, for example, can release toxic substances like dioxins and chloroform into the environment, polluting waterways and posing risks to aquatic life.


Moreover, the synthetic fragrances used in conventional toilet paper can contain harmful chemicals that may cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.


By choosing Bambu Haven's bamboo toilet rolls, you are opting for a safer and more eco-friendly option.


Our bamboo toilet paper is free from chlorine bleaching and synthetic fragrances, ensuring a clean and gentle experience for both you and the environment.




In addition to the chemical additives used in conventional toilet paper, its production also contributes to air and water pollution.


The manufacturing process of traditional toilet paper often involves the use of large amounts of energy, including the burning of fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change.


Moreover, the wastewater generated during production, which contains chemicals and residues from the bleaching process, can be discharged into water bodies, polluting aquatic ecosystems and endangering marine life.
