Toilet tissue disappears naturally in wastewater, which generally ends up at municipal treatment works. In most cases the fibre composition of toilet tissue makes it easy to deal with in wastewater treatment processes.
Other used tissue products, such as paper towels for household and industrial use, can be used as energy or bio-waste. Using waste tissue as an energy sourceĀ produces carbon dioxide and water after combustion. Note that if materials such as oil, solvents, paints etc. have been wiped with a tissue towel, that waste must be handled in a suitable manner.

Tissue is good for composting. According to a survey commissioned by VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland), composting destroys paper towels. Towels made from virgin fibre decompose more quickly than those made from recovered fibre. The paper towels do not slow the composting process, and it has no harmful effect on the quality of the compost. Tissue paper can also be mixed with food waste, for example, as it binds with liquid in the food waste. Tissue mixed with bio-waste also helps reduce the odour of bio-waste.
The results of the life cycle analysis we commissioned show that energy recovery is the best option. This is because energy recovery has less impact on the environment, and combustion requires fewer resources.
We believe it is possible to have effective natural and safe cleaning products that don't cost the earth.
To prove this we have developed a range of natural, biodegradable cleaning products that are ethically sound, safe to use and have a minimum environmental impact on our planet.
Many cleaners containing conventional ingredients have a damaging effect on the environment and humans. We are commited to the use of ingredients that are purely the best and safest for all of us.
Wherever possible, our raw materials are from renewable sources, not been tested on animals and have no animal by-product. Our packaging in recyclable and manufactured to contain effective levels of recyclable materials. To further reinforce our belief in the use of natural ingredients, all of our products are allergy tested.
You have nothing to lose, the earth has everything to gain.
