Extraordinary concept, this black toilet paper from Renova. Yep, I would use it once for the novelty. However, I would probably feel the need for subsequent cleanliness quality control.<\/p>\n

Bleach is terrible for the environment and definitely shouldn't be used for humble toilet paper. C'mon, what were we thinking?<\/p>\n

Sure, I know some TP is recycled and I know some of it is bleached using methods other than chlorine bleach. But surely, world-wide, TP should be made from recycled paper and unbleached.<\/p>\n
