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!

Summary: And I'll keep buying it!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Surprisingly soft eco-friendly bathroom tissue!
Comment: I'm typically one to go with the cheap brands when it comes to toilet paper. Marcal or Scott's, whichever is cheaper. I'm not one to be picky about toilet paper. I'll admit the softer brands are really nice, but they are more expensive and the roll runs out really quick. Now I ordered Seventh Generation bathroom tissue not because of softness or price, but because I was interested in trying out an eco-friendly alternative and with Amazon Subscribe & Save I will never run out of the necessities (I really loathe going to the store for a roll of toilet paper). So honestly I was expecting something along the lines of public school toilet paper. However, to my surprise the bathroom tissue was actually soft. Now I'm not saying it's nearly as soft as Charmin Ultra, but it's definitely softer than Marcal or Scott's. So in terms of softness it's actually in the middle which isn't bad considering it's 100% recycled paper (80% post-consumer content minimum). The post-consumer content is what sets this bathroom tissue apart from the rest. Post-consumer is paper that is recycled from homes and offices, basically the stuff we throw out on recycling night for the garbage workers to pick up. Most other brands use pre-consumer content, which is actually left over scraps from paper production and other industrial manufacturing. So all in all I think this bathroom tissue is adequately soft and very environmentally friendly. I would recommend this to everyone.

Summary: Not too good...
Comment: My family thought this paper was much too harsh and rigid. You actually end up using more to clean effectively. My family couldn't bare to use it anymore so I donated the rest of it!

Summary: Wasteful
Comment: I bought these hoping they would be a decent product (like so many of the other seventh generation products) that could help cut down on our wasteful use of toilet paper. My daughter and I dubbed this, "self-destructing toilet paper" because it weakens the moment it touches anything wet. It is thin, dissolves a little too quickly and is harsher than the most cheaply made toilet paper I've ever used (think early elementary public school bathrooms). Its more expensive and you need to use more just to get the job done. I love green products, but I won't sacrifice quality ALL the time in order to get it. I will keep using other seventh generation products (and method, etc.) but there's no use in buying something if it doesn't work. Sadly, back to Charmin unless someone else finds a way to make somewhat soft and a bit thicker "green" toilet paper.

Summary: No crumbles, not rough, large rolls, eco-friendly!
Comment: The title says it all... You have no crumbling like you do with the name brand (non eco-friendly) products, there are actually more sheets too! My guests have no idea it's recycled since it's not brown like my paper towels. I use it as kleenex also and its fairly soft. With the other brands I had paper dust getting stuck in my computers fan just from using it as kleenex. This kind has none of that! Just recycle the outer liner along with the tube and the cardboard box with no plastics to bother with! Get this much TP at Whole Foods and it'll be your whole pay check! I managed to convince others to get it with subscribe & save as it's cheaper than name brands on sale!
