AND—RECYCLED COTTON IS SUED IN SOME BRANDS OF TOILET PAPER-—COTTONELLE IS ONE.
CANNOT USE IT IN SEPTIC TANK-—DOES NOT BREAK DOWN CORRECTLY FOR SEPTIC TANK
I didn’t know that. I’m surprised Cottonelle has not been forced to stop using the recycled cotton for that very reason. Increased plumbing liability.
Most people forget, toilet paper doesn’t just disappear when we flush it out of our sight.
Trust but verify. From a Google AI search:
Does Cottonelle toilet paper use recycled cotton in its manufacture?
No, Cottonelle toilet paper does not use recycled cotton—in fact, it does not contain any cotton fibers at all. Despite the brand name, Cottonelle toilet paper is manufactured using 100% plant-based virgin wood fibers sourced from trees.
Kimberly-Clark, the parent company of Cottonelle, explicitly states that its consumer-grade toilet papers do not use any recycled fibers. Instead, they rely on fresh wood pulp from responsibly managed forests.
While a specific commercial line called Cottonelle Professional is distributed with 25% recycled wood fiber for commercial properties, none of the products in the Cottonelle lineup utilize cotton textile waste or recycled cotton fabric.
