Bamboo Toilet Rolls: Why We Choose Bamboo for Our Products

by Tanya Roberts July 9, 2025

At Eco Cheeks, we believe the things we use every day like toilet paper should be gentle on your skin and kinder to the planet. That’s why we’ve chosen bamboo toilet paper for our range. Not only is it soft, strong, and sustainably produced, but it also offers a smarter alternative to traditional toilet paper made from trees.

More Australians are making the switch to eco friendly toilet paper, and it’s easy to see why. Let’s explore the reasons behind our commitment to bamboo, from its environmental benefits to its everyday practicality.

What Is Bamboo Toilet Paper?

Bamboo toilet paper is made from one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. Unlike slow-growing hardwood trees, bamboo regenerates rapidly and doesn’t require replanting after harvest. That means fewer resources are used to produce each roll, making bamboo a renewable and responsible option.

At Eco Cheeks, we go a step further. Our bamboo toilet roll is unbleached and free from harsh chemicals, dyes, fragrances, and PFAS. You get a clean, comfortable wipe with none of the hidden nasties.

Why Bamboo Is Better Than Tree-Based Toilet Paper

Once we compared bamboo to traditional toilet paper made from trees, the choice was clear. Here’s why we’ve gone all in on bamboo toilet paper:

1. Bamboo Grows Rapidly

Bamboo can grow up to a metre in a single day and reaches maturity in just three to five years. In contrast, hardwood trees can take decades to mature. This makes bamboo a far more sustainable option, especially for products used daily.

2. Lower Water and Land Use

Bamboo is highly efficient. It requires significantly less water than hardwood trees and can grow densely, allowing more yield per hectare. This helps reduce the overall environmental footprint of toilet paper production.

3. No Replanting Required

When bamboo is harvested, it regrows from its existing root system — no ploughing or replanting necessary. This natural regeneration helps maintain healthy soil and avoids erosion.

4. Naturally Pest-Resistant

Bamboo grows well without the need for pesticides or chemical fertilisers. This means fewer toxins in the environment and a cleaner, more natural product.

Soft, Strong, and Safer for Sensitive Skin

Not all toilet rolls are created equal. Some contain chemical additives or feel rough to the touch. Ours are made with care, from the material down to the packaging to ensure comfort and safety for everyone in the family.

Here’s what makes our eco friendly toilet paper stand out:

Naturally hypoallergenic
Free from bleach, fragrances, and harsh chemicals
PFAS-free (Australian Government tested)
Soft, yet durable with a 3-ply design
Long-lasting (300 sheets per roll)

The long, smooth fibres in bamboo create a soft texture that’s gentle on skin. And because we don’t use unnecessary additives, you can feel confident knowing what’s touching your body is as clean and natural as possible.

A Smarter Choice for the Planet

Choosing eco friendly toilet paper isn’t just about personal care, it’s about protecting the planet. Here’s how every roll of Eco Cheeks bamboo toilet paper makes a difference:

Less deforestation: Reduces demand for tree-based paper
Saves Wildlife: Because no one should lose their home for your toilet roll.
Cleaner production: No bleach or chemical-laden processes
Carbon-neutral deliveries: We offset the emissions from every order
Plastic-free packaging: Even the tape on our boxes is compostable

Whether you order a single carton or buy in bulk, you're making a more responsible choice for the environment, one that supports a better future for all.

Why Buying in Bulk Makes Sense

Stocking up on bamboo toilet roll doesn’t just save you trips to the store, it also helps reduce your environmental impact. Here’s why we recommend buying in bulk:

🔁 Fewer Deliveries
Less frequent shipping means fewer emissions. It’s a simple way to cut down your carbon footprint.

💸 More Value
Bulk purchases often come with savings. Plus, you won’t be caught out when you unexpectedly run low.

📦 Reduced Packaging
More rolls per box equals less packaging overall. Our cartons are fully recyclable and home-compostable and we even offer wrap-free options if you prefer to go minimal.

At Eco Cheeks, we offer 36-roll cartons and a larger 72-roll pack. Both are packed with the same toxin-free, high-quality eco friendly toilet paper, just more of it, for less hassle.
