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!

"No complaints" 2010-01-22
By Patrick S. Korey (Albuquerque, NM USA)
The family was looking to make some of the things around the house more automatic, and buying in bulk would save us some cash. We really like Amazon's subscription service for things like this. Not much to say about the product. No one in the family has complained that is is too rough or such. Will continue to use...

"like newspaper without the ink" 2010-01-15
By Cool Life in AZ (Oro Valley AZ)
The TP is VERY THIN - how can they call this 2-ply? It's thinner than some other 1-ply.

TP is stiff, not a bit of softness, I could use newspaper for free intead of buying this.



This was not at all the bargain I thought this was. No one in my family wants to use this. 47 rolls will be donated to the YMCA.

"Great for the environment!" 2009-12-19
By H. Biggs (PA)
This toilet paper has one of the highest post-consumer recycled content of any toilet papers on the market (80%): see [...] asp#toilet for more information.



Green Forest does have higher post-consumer recycled content (90%). But these Seventh Generation rolls are large rolls, and you can recycle the paper wrapping.



"Gas saving septic safe & soft enough!" 2009-12-16
By Chris- (Portland Oregon)
We are first time owners of a country home on a septic system and needed to find the right toilet paper for both the septic system and our personal needs. This product does both. I adopted the auto-send option for a case of this Seventh Generation toilet paper which keeps us supplied and we don't have to think about it or hunt for sales and coupons. It is soft enough, all packaging is recyclable and if you are lucky enough to be able to store a case then I highly recommend this product and the auto-order option offered through Amazon.

"Need to refinish your floors? This might be too rough even for that job!" 2009-12-16
By Goldengate (San Francisco, where else?)
I really like the idea of this toilet paper... less environmental waste, though I agree with other reviewers that using a bidet is preferable from an environmental perspective. I used Scott 1000 sheet single ply in college and this stuff makes that feel like Charmin. Literally, every guest in our home who has used this has teased us about this incredibly rough toilet paper. Another reviewer branded it "interstate rest area toilet paper" and I completely agree.



The only thing this paper has going for it is that it is environmentally friendly...but gone are the days where we must sacrifice function for lower impact (for example, Ecover Dishwasher tablets are actually better performing than their less environmentally-friendly counterparts).



Do yourself, your family and your guests a favor and keep looking for a better alternative.
