“Wishcycling” – Why Your Good Intentions Could Be Hurting the Planet
Think everything in your recycling bin gets recycled? Discover the truth about wishcycling and how to recycle smarter with sustainable swaps.
Hey, Sweet Cheeks!
We’re here to save the planet, and your health, one roll at a time. And this is your story too. Because if you’ve ever wondered why we’re cutting down old trees or wiping ourselves with chemicals, you’re not alone. Together, we’re flipping the script on something we all use, every single day: toilet paper.
At Eco Cheeks, we’re passionate about creating premium, 100% nasty chemical-free bamboo toilet paper and tissue products that are as kind to your body as they are to the planet. As an Australian-owned brand, we’re committed to delivering soft, strong, and sustainable essentials directly to your home, workplace, or tourism business. Our mission is to revolutionise the disposable paper industry by offering tree-free, eco-friendly alternatives that make sustainable living accessible and enjoyable for all Australians.
Meet Tanya, Our Founder
Behind Eco Cheeks is Tanya, an environmentally conscious mum of one and unapologetic pun-lover. Like so many parents, motivated to create a healthier, toxin-free home for her son, Alfred, she set out on a mission to remove unnecessary chemicals from everyday life.
When she started researching toilet paper, she discovered that most brands are bleached with chlorine, creating dioxins - toxins linked to infertility, immune system damage, and hormone disruption. That alone was alarming, but it’s also been discovered that many contain ‘forever chemicals’ like PFAS. The thought of families wiping the most absorbent part of the body with these chemicals? It didn’t seem right.
With no truly safe and sustainable option on the market, Tanya decided to create one. And so, Eco Cheeks was born — a cheeky little brand making bamboo toilet paper and tissues that are good for you and great for the planet.
A Better Way to Wipe - Eco Friendly & Bamboo
Determined to find a safer, smarter option, Tanya discovered the magic of bamboo toilet paper. Technically a grass, bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, with some species shooting up to a metre a day! It regenerates after harvest for decades, making it a truly sustainable, renewable resource. Unlike traditional tree-based toilet paper, which relies on cutting down 30–40-year-old hardwoods, Eco Cheeks bamboo toilet paper delivers the softness and strength you want without sacrificing forests.
But it’s not just about being eco-friendly - it’s about being safe. Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial, making it the perfect foundation for a skin-friendly, health-conscious wipe. Free from chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, fragrances, PFAS, BPA, and other toxins, our unbleached, nasty chemical-free toilet paper is a natural, clean alternative that’s better for your body and even better for the planet.
More Than Toilet Paper
Sure, we make bamboo loo rolls, tissues, and paper towels, but Eco Cheeks is about more than just toilet paper. We’re on a mission to create positive change and help people make sustainable choices every single day. Every roll of Eco Cheeks bamboo toilet paper you buy helps to:
- Keep forests standing tall and provide safe habitats for Australian wildlife
- Protect your family’s health with chemical-free, toxin-free tissue paper
- Bring joy to seriously ill children through the Starlight Children’s Foundation
- Restore forests and offset carbon emissions with Greenfleet’s projects
Small swaps really do add up to a big impact. And together, we’re proving that even something as simple as switching your toilet paper can help change the world.
