Toilet paper can contain PFAS "forever chemicals," which are linked to certain types of cancer and can enter wastewater treatment systems. However, there are several PFAS-free toilet paper options available that are made from sustainable materials and do not contain harsh chemicals or fragrances. Here are some details about these products:
Positive:
- PFAS-free
- Made from sustainable materials
- No harsh chemicals or fragrances
- Septic-safe
Negative:
- Some toilet paper products contain PFAS "forever chemicals"
Ingredients or materials:
- Bamboo fibers
- Recycled paper
Some examples of PFAS-free toilet paper brands include:
- Cloud Paper Bamboo Toilet Paper
- Repurposes Bamboo Toilet Paper
- Emerald Tree-Free Farm to Tissue American Made Toilet Paper
- ECOS Treeless Bamboo & Sugarcane Bathroom Tissue
- Caboo Tree-Free Bamboo Bath Tissue
- Nature Z Way Bamboo Bath Tissue
Its important to note that some toilet paper made from recycled paper can contain harmful chemicals like BPA. Additionally, bleaching or using dyes made from petroleum (used to change the paper’s color) can irritate body parts, especially women’s vulvas. Therefore, its important to choose toilet paper made from sustainable materials and free from harsh chemicals and fragrances.
