Amazon.com Product Description

Seventh Generation Bathroom Tissue is made from 100% recycled paper, with a minimum of 80% post-consumer materials. Whitened with an environmentally safe process--never with chlorine bleach--this tissue is the healthy choice for your family and your environment.

Made from 100% Recycled Chlorine-Free Paper
By choosing Seventh Bathroom Tissue, you'll be making an important environmental difference immediately. These paper towels are not whitened with chlorine and are made from 100% recycled paper (80% post-consumer, 20% pre-consumer). Hypo-allergenic, unbleached, fragrance-free, and made without dyes or inks, this tissue paper is safe for septic systems and ideal for low-flow toilets.

Post-consumer paper is paper that has been recycled at home or at the office. Buying post-consumer paper helps finish the job you started--of saving the earth's natural resources, including trees, water, and energy. And using products made from post-consumer recycled materials helps reduce the need for virgin wood pulp, which means more trees are left standing. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide--a greenhouse gas that's the primary contributor to global warming. In fact, a single tree, over its lifetime, absorbs about one tone of CO2. To put it another way, a ton of recycled paper saves seventeen trees.

If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 500 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save 448,000 trees, 1.1 million cubic feet of landfill space (equal to 1,700 full garbage trucks), and 161 million gallons of water, which is a year's supply for 1,270 families of four!

Customer Reviews

Good, but not Softest!!
This is not as soft as Charmin, however this is better for the environment!! I do not mind using it as our everyday toilet paper. It does the job without falling to pieces or being irritating!!

Price comparison... not so bad!
Good product. At first I wasn't wild about the cost; but then I noticed that the box was rather heavy, and the rolls lasted longer, since they are more solid and less puffy than mainstream brands. Which got me wondering... does making the environmental choice really cost more? Not really.

I did the math:

Seventh Gen 2-ply, 500 sheets per roll, 48 rolls per order
Cost using Amazon Subscribe & Save = $40.79
Shipping weight = 20 lbs.
Square feet = 58.5*48= 2808 sf
Number of sheets = 500*48 = 24,000

Charmin Plus giant roll, 1-ply, 341 sheets per roll, 40 rolls per order
Cost using Amazon (no Subscribe & Save) = $40.73
Shipping weight = 14.6 lbs.
Square feet = 42.08*40 = 1683.2 sf
Number of sheets = 341*40 = 13,640

I might be able to find something on sale at Target for less, but the Amazon Seventh Gen price really isn't bad.

Great T.P.
This is great TP. And it's made from 100% recycled paper. I love the fact that trees aren't being cut down just so I can wipe.
