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!

Could be softer, yes, but think of what you're saving!:
I agree, it's not Charmin. But really, who needs virgin tissue for, ahem, your rear end? I'm buying my second case today because I have been really happy with this product. Every time I unwrap a roll, I think about the little difference I'm making for my son, and all the other generations that will come after him. Enough said, I think. A very good (not perfect!) toilet tissue, you don't end up changing the roll every other day, and you're helping save a few trees every time you pee! Good enough for me.
Best way to be good to the environment:
I've been a fan of Seventh Generation products, especially their toilet tissue, for some time now. When I've run out and had to pick up some of those "regular" brands I was always so disappointed in the feel and quality. Not only is this toilet tissue a great way to be good to the environment (think about HOW MUCH t.p. your household uses in a year), it's just an overall great product. So happy that I found it in bulk on Amazon!
I can't feel the difference:
Either I've lucked out or other people had just obtained mis-manufactured packages! I don't feel if this toilet paper feels any rougher. It feels perfectly fine to me. Happy with how the product is manufactured, I will continue buying it and other Seventh Generation products.
And I'll keep buying it!:
This is the second case of Seventh Generation bathroom tissue I have purchased for my family and I plan on continuing to buy it in the future! The quality is great and, although I have read in some other reviews that the texture is not to everyone's liking, I find it more than acceptable. Best of all, it is a product that makes the environmentally-friendly option practical for all of us.
