Biodegradable Toilet Tissue, The Answer
There seems to be a misconception concerning biodegradable toilet tissue or as some call it, bath tissue. Whether you are referring to 1-ply or 2-ply, all bath tissue is biodegradable.
Some may argue that this is not the case, but unless fillers are used that are not, all toilet tissue is biodegradable.
Biodegradable by definition is: capable of being decomposed by biological agents, especially bacteria. Since there are varying degrees of this and depending on how fast the paper disperses, dictates the level of biodegradability. Toilet tissue is made to disolve or disperse so it just makes sense that it is biodegradable. Think about it, why would they make it so that it would not disolve? Stopping up the sewer lines is not the objective.
Biodegradable toilet tissue comes in various softness, composition, and levels of grades of decomposition. There are more definitions, which are technical in nature, but when it comes right down to it, you now know the answer.
The next time someone tells you that you have to have a “special” biodegradable toilet tissue, you can smile and know that the tissue you already have meets the criteria.
