Many Australians are unaware that they live in one of the world's most wasteful nations. For this reason, in Australia's fight against waste, we must make our voices heard. We can all work together to save this beautiful place if we each choose to take action and fight for it.

In the current economy, we take resources from the Earth, turn them into products, and then eventually discard them as waste. In contrast to this, in a circular economy, waste generation is avoided altogether.

Being environmentally friendly or eco-friendly is increasingly becoming important to society. "Going green" and "eco-friendly" have become buzzwords on talk shows, ads, and product packaging. The phrase "eco-friendly" has come to encompass so many things and behaviours that its meaning is in jeopardy. You can implement habits that will lead to healthier living for the Earth and its inhabitants, big and little, by knowing the true meaning of eco-friendly.

We're growing more conscious of our impact on the environment every day. It's critical that, as parents, we not only adopt lifestyle adjustments to care for the environment but also that we teach our children about sustainability from an early age.

There is no universally agreed-upon definition of sustainability. In reality, there are many different perspectives on this subject and how it might be realised. It's a concept that's both foreign and familiar, a distant notion and a very real possibility. This does little to make it easy to understand what this word means and how we are to use it best.

It doesn't seem like much when you pay $3 for a 600ml bottle of water. It’s just $3, and you certainly don’t feel the same pain as when you pump $50 – $100 worth of petrol into your car. It does become a crazy amount of money though, to be paying for something we can practically get for free from the tap! Crazy to the tune of $700 million. That's roughly how much the Australian bottled water sector earns in a year.

When you throw the toilet paper rolls into the trolley, you may not stop to think about which are made in Australia. If you're already purchasing recycled, you're already doing a fantastic job of being conscious of your environmental impact. So, maybe, once you've locked down the habit of looking out for recycled TP, you might want to get into the habit of going for Australian made.

Every item you put in your trolley has an impact on the environment. Some of the negative impacts are obvious (plastic), and some are not (where does each ingredient come from? What's the impact of farming each ingredient?).
When it comes to toilet paper and tissue products, it's fair to say that most people go for feel before considering anything else. Even the most environmentally-conscious consumer will be tempted toward comfort if the recycled option is sub-par.

Toilet paper is one of those household staples that most people don't tend to think too intensely about. Does it look soft? Is it a good price? That's usually about as far as toilet paper consideration goes for the average purchaser of this plush product.
But what about: how does this affect the environment?

Everywhere you turn these days, everyone is talking about making environmentally conscious decisions. So much so, that eco, bio and other terms are now as much marketing spin as they are actual terms for environmentally positive goods.

When people hear about recycled toilet paper, oftentimes the first thought is "What the?!" And understandably so. When we think about recycled goods, we tend to think that it is recycled from the thing that it is. Hence, recycled toilet paper is recycled toilet paper, right? No. Wrong. Thankfully, that is completely incorrect. Because... Gross.

Those of us in the toilet paper industry were completely taken aback in 2020 as we watched the demand for our humble paper product explode. We sat on the edge of our seats watching fights on YouTube, commentary on the news and rants on TikTok, all about the madness crossing our country for the product we produce.
Well, there is no point in building suspense when the answer is probably pretty obvious... It's us. We're the Australian made and owned toilet paper. And we want to talk about why that's important.
