In fact, toilet tissue affects environmental health so extensively that the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) released a scathing report outlining the damages caused by the the “tree to toilet” pipeline’s leading contributors.

Our goal is to be in as many homes as possible promoting sustainability, so we chose to brighten our paper through a safe process to help people make an easy switch to tree-free.Īs the brand grew, we asked our community to let us know if they were interested in brown paper towels. We launched with white paper towels because (through interviews with our customers) we discovered that far more people were willing to try alternative paper products if they were white.
