Amazon.com Product Description
Seventh Generation Bathroom Tissue is made from 100% recycled paper, with a minimum of 80% post-consumer materials. Whitened with an environmentally safe process--never with chlorine bleach--this tissue is the healthy choice for your family and your environment. Made from 100% Recycled Chlorine-Free Paper
By choosing Seventh Bathroom Tissue, you'll be making an important environmental difference immediately. These paper towels are not whitened with chlorine and are made from 100% recycled paper (80% post-consumer, 20% pre-consumer). Hypo-allergenic, unbleached, fragrance-free, and made without dyes or inks, this tissue paper is safe for septic systems and ideal for low-flow toilets. Post-consumer paper is paper that has been recycled at home or at the office. Buying post-consumer paper helps finish the job you started--of saving the earth's natural resources, including trees, water, and energy. And using products made from post-consumer recycled materials helps reduce the need for virgin wood pulp, which means more trees are left standing. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide--a greenhouse gas that's the primary contributor to global warming. In fact, a single tree, over its lifetime, absorbs about one tone of CO2. To put it another way, a ton of recycled paper saves seventeen trees. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 500 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save 448,000 trees, 1.1 million cubic feet of landfill space (equal to 1,700 full garbage trucks), and 161 million gallons of water, which is a year's supply for 1,270 families of four!

 Seventh Generation also offers a softer alternative November 10, 2007

Seventh Generation offers two types of bath tissue: 500 sheet and 400 sheet. The one listed above, at 500 sheets, is the thinner, tougher, more abrasive type. The one to get instead is the following, also available on Amazon (sometimes):
Seventh Generation Bathroom Tissue, 2-ply White Unscented, Case Pack (48-400 Sheet Rolls)
The 400 sheet variety is not only great for the environment (80% post consumer recycled/ whitened without chlorine bleach) but also soft and comfortable. Amazon currently lists it as 'unavailable'. To encourage Amazon to carry the more comfortable one, add that one to your wish list. Or once it is available, purchase the 400 sheet one instead.
The 500 sheet variety will remind you of being in a gas station restroom. If you end up buying this in bulk, you'll find yourself secretly buying traditional toilet paper to pull out of the cabinet when you have guests...
 This company is doing it right... March 24, 2006

Okay, so let's be upfront... This toilet paper could be softer--don't expect Charmin softness. But it's really not bad. I rated this product a 5 despite the softness factor because this company is doing it right. You can feel good about this paper being made from 100% recycled materials (80% post-consumer!). In addition, this paper is not whitened using any chlorination process, which is better for all of us. I think that as more people show they are willing to buy products made from recycled content, companies can put more money into making them more luxurious. Go Seventh Generation!
Excellent quality product! January 11, 2007

Seventh Generation is a company that specializes in eco-friendly products. The name for the company comes is taken from a quote of the Great Law of the Iroquois confederacy: "In our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." A philosophy that can easily be extended to decisions both large and small.
In this case, the bathroom tissue is made with 100% recycled materials and is whitened without using bleach. Using recycled products not only saves trees but reduces land fill.
As for the comfort and utility of this product it is a quality toilet tissue that is reasonably soft and absorbent. So if we can be comfortable, hygenic and eco-friendly, why not?
 Well, it is good for the environment July 12, 2006

I confess I'm a Northern Quilted toliet paper fan. I ordered this to be enviromentally friendly (EF) and was enticed by the coupon. It is as another reviewer noted, rough on the "quilted" side, but soft on the smooth side. I will likely order more, but when company visits, I will revert back to Northern. This product's texture is quite similar to the inexpensive paper used in public restroom facilities. Also I find I use more, so I may be be as "EF" as I had hoped.
Great stuff! June 14, 2006

Try it you will like it. It really is better paper, compares to Scott individual wrapped rolls. You will be doing your self a favor by not using paper that has been chemically treated and it's better for the environment too. Free shipping, fantastic!
