How is 100% FSC certified Virgin Bamboo any different from 100% FSC certified timber for paper making?

Just asking

No idea, maybe send them an email? As I said, I've got nothing to do with them.

I think bamboo grows faster than trees, which is 'good' for this sort of stuff (ie stuff you just wipe your arse with).

Sorry - I'm being an arse (pun intended!).

I'm just got a thing against these new subscription products. If you end up subscribing to a bunch of these products every month that's a load more delivery vehicles on the road rather than a trip to the supermarket.

I had worked that out and [i]nearly[/i] bit... 😉

We get a box of 48 loo rolls which lasts us around four months. If I could buy stuff like this locally I would, but I can't.

Where does the bamboo come from and where are the bog rolls made? China of course.
Plenty of bog roll is made in the UK from trees grown here (some of the trees aren't much use for anything else) so can't see the point in buying bog roll shipped in from halfway across the world. Bit of a cheek with their green credentials if you ask me.

And their brown credentials?

I wipe my undercarriage with a panda pelt. It's a bit tickly though.

🤔

Surely to be totally eco friendly you would just have a bidet installed or one of those fancy Japanese toilets with one built in and have it fed by rain water

No trees cut down, no toilet paper to be transported to the shops, no plastic used etc.... prob as about as eco friendly as you can get and you would save money in the long run, just keep your finger nails short!

Plenty is made from recycled paper too, so no trees have to be cut down.
