Tell me about this sustainable recycled paper loo roll
Our 100% recycled toilet rolls are made in the UK from paper recycled in the UK. You’ll be delighted to know that it’s not made of recycled loo roll but instead a mix of consumer and trade waste paper using chlorine-free processing.
Although this loo roll is made of recycled paper, it definitely doesn’t feel like recycled paper. It’s a nice quality and thickness and does the job it’s intended for.
This product is accredited with Ethical Consumer's Best Buy label. The label is awarded after Ethical Consumer has looked in detail at the environmental and ethical record of both the product and company supplying it.
What is this eco-friendly toilet paper made from?
This eco-friendly toilet tissue is made from 100% recycled paper fibres sourced exclusively from the UK. It's produced from a mix of consumer and trade waste (think scrap paper from homes, schools and offices) using chlorine-free processing.
Why is it important to make the switch from normal toilet paper to recycled toilet paper?
It is utterly pointless to grow a perfectly good tree for 80 years and then cut it down to make toilet paper. Just because it is Forest Stewardship Council certified and grown in a sustainable forest and more trees will be planted to replace it and all of that, doesn’t make it OK. We need to grow trees to harvest for timber products, of course. It does seem immoral that we import as much timber as we do. Only 13% of our land in the UK has woodland. We rely on imports from overseas, but there’s plenty of space for us to grow our own timber. And before anyone starts the trees vs food conversation, there is a lot of land that is no good for growing food that is very good for growing trees. So, trees are precious things, and the land that is use for growing them is in demand.
Combine that with the fact that we recycle 80% of paper in the UK it is the utterly logical thing to make toilet paper out of recycled paper. Otherwise, what is the point in putting all that effort into recycling? We need to ensure we are utilising that recycled paper and what better way than recycled loo rolls!
How does this recycled paper toilet roll compare to bamboo toilet roll?
Bamboo toilet roll does seem like a great sustainable toilet roll idea on the surface but when you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that most of the bamboo used is grown on the other side of the world. It is then made into bamboo toilet rolls and shipped over to the UK which very quickly makes bamboo loo rolls not all that eco-friendly. Our recycled paper toilet roll, on the hand, is made in the UK from paper recycled in the UK with no unnecessary packaging. No shipping in from abroad and it utilises recycled paper in this country. It’s about as eco as you can get without going into the woods and using leaves or moss.

Although this loo roll is made of recycled paper, it definitely doesn’t feel like recycled paper. It’s a nice quality and thickness and does the job it’s intended for.

At the core of Chimney Sheep is our Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT). For every purchase you make with us, 20% of the profit facilitates the planting of trees on agriculturally poor land in Cumbria.
We set up BLPT in 2019 as a ‘boots on the ground’ tree planting initiative. The company is run by us and the tree planting is done by us. We do it to help you and us to reduce our impact on the planet. The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife.
BLPT isn’t a tick box exercise nor a distant and detached carbon offset company. In fact, this is as much part of our business as the products we sell and is an integral part of our ethos. We are big believers in the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ and want to make a genuine difference
Well packaged, no plastic at all. Even the sticky tape on the box was paper based. It's just toilet paper but a great product nonetheless.

And no plastic!
As good as any you'll buy. But without chopping down mature trees. And you help to plant more trees. And best of all, absolutely no plastic in the packaging.

Really recycled loo rolls
We always buy supermarket recycled toilet rolls and liked to think we were contributing to the environment. But when I found chimney sheep were offering UK made recycled loo rolls I gave them a try, and have not been disappointed. Chimney Sheep have done it again!!!!
