Sustainable sugarcane and bamboo paper tissue systems

Sugarcane pulp is much more sustainable than pulp made from trees. Sugarcane is a grass and is cultivated every 8-12 months. Trees can take up to 30 years to reach cultivation point. When sugar is extracted from sugarcane the waste product generated from this process is called Bagasse. It’s Bagasse that’s used to make the sustainable toilet roll which is great for the environment as it saves trees and makes use of a by-product that would otherwise go to landfill.

It is well known in the washroom supplies industry that drains can be blocked by bamboo toilet tissue due to the long and strong fibres not breaking down which is why we use sugarcane instead of bamboo. The sustainable toilet tissue made from sugarcane that we supply uses a special formula of short, delicate fibres that breaks down extremely well, making it the perfect solution for toilet tissue. Our sugarcane toilet tissue is much softer, whiter and brighter. It has a low carbon footprint and lower cost-in-use than other recycled tissue making it the perfect solution for washrooms everywhere.

Bamboo products aren’t ideal for toilet tissue but are excellent for hand towels. Bamboo has long, strong fibres that provide a great wet strength and very good drying capability with the additional benefit of natural anti-bacterial properties.
