Why Use the Guide?

If each household in Canada replaced 1 roll of toilet paper cut from ancient forests with 1 roll of recycled toilet paper, we could save 47,962 trees in a year.

Imagine how many trees would be saved if every tissue product Canadians purchased was made from recycled paper.

Ancient forests around the world are being cut down at an alarming rate: over 80 percent of the world's original forest are gone, cut down for paper and other forest products. Ancient forests are literally being flushed down the toilet every day by millions of consumers across Canada. This needs to stop.

That's why Greenpeace has prepared this guide: to help you decide which brands of tissue products to avoid, and which to buy.

Tissue products made from 100% recycled paper are of equal quality, value, and price and can be bought at most major grocery, health food, and corner stores. By buying these sustainable products, you are sending a message to the companies that produce them that you don't want to see the world's forests flushed down the toilet.
