    Bamboo is 100x better then wood! I wish it was used rather then cutting down trees! Am glad companies like these are going plastic free as I’m trying to go zero waste and uneasily recycleable “bio plastic” isn’t what I want in a product

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      me too! but the more we support it the more popular it will become over trees :)

    I've been using bamboo products for those paper items I still use, and I agree that they are soft, strong and very similar to traditional paper products. It has been over 2 years since I was last in a shop but back then the supermarkets were starting to stock a variety of bamboo alternatives too, I'm guessing that has increased since then.

    I love bamboo, but can you make a video about any possible downsides of bamboo, like if it needs to be transported from the other side of the world ect

    We've been trying out bamboo TP for the last month or so. I recently picked up some bamboo q-tips as well. Next will be bamboo paper towels for things we can't use rags for. And maybe bamboo facial tissues too.

    Good review. I would like to see a review on Hey Human personal care products such as deodorant which are sold at Target. Eco-friendly products need to be made more widely available.

      deodorant review comparing 5 or so brands is coming soon! maybe July or August :)

    We love bamboo toilet paper in my family. It's so much stronger than traditional wood based TP. Sadly I don't always find it in my town. I will never buy bamboo napkins, tissues or paper towels but not for what you may think. I initially made the swap to save money in the long term. My family do not buy once use napkins/serviettes or paper towels as we use cloth only.

    Very cool! I hadn’t heard of this brand before. I have heard of what the crap, which has a bamboo line of toilet paper in addition to recycled paper line if I’m not mistaken. Have you looked into the difference between the two companies and other bamboo product brands? Is one better than the other?

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yup i know about WGAC. It's hard to say definitively which bamboo TP is the best

  • @lindsaymcginnis8952
    @lindsaymcginnis8952 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love bamboo tp. I find it way stronger and I use way less than with regular tree based tp. I need something septic safe and high quality. Now I need to make the switch for tissues and papertowels!

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes!! recycled is my preference but bamboo is still more eco than trees :)))))))))))))))))))))))))

    Is there much of a diffrence between Betterway bamboo toilet paper and this toilet paper?

      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i haven't reviewed every single brand so i'm not sure. they're all similar amongst the brands I HAVE tried

    I've been using lovely poo poo since I saw this video. I've had a couple customer service interactions that are making me question whether they are actually a US based company. I was wondering if you had any similar experiences working with them as a sponsor.

    What about the process of turning the bamboo to paper? as I understand is involving with glue that turn the end product to not compostable.

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      is it?? i don't think so but i'm not overly familiar with it...i'd say tree based toilet paper is made the same so it's still better imo

    • @shawnbenn
      @shawnbenn ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist I guess that toilet paper made from bamboo is better alternative but I think that its important to emphasize that bamboo products not always recyclable and compostable.

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      right! not that you'd be recycling or composting toilet paper but i get your point :)

    Do they sell these in bulk for low cost? They need to get these in common grocery stores across the world. People buy what is accessible and low cost.

  • @miss_m_yt
    @miss_m_yt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Curious how they compare in quality and price to who gives a crap tp!

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      i think they are quite comparable! not sure of price off the top of my head but you can google both. Quality is head to head though!

      nope :( even then, cotton is SUPER water intensive so i hope you consider trying bamboo or recycled paper tp!

    Thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻🧻👊🏻 ..... I've been hearing that hemp is going to be making a comeback and can be used for many products, such as paper, plastics, fabrics, concrete, and many other things.... Something to look out for.

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      i wish we saw more hemp products on the market it is truly a VERY sustainable plant!
