is Bumboo toilet paper really 100% bamboo? here’s the independent evidence

quick summary

Product: Bumboo toilet paper 100% FSC-certified bamboo.
Verification: Multiple independent fibre tests using TAPPI T-401 show 100% bamboo composition. Test certificates published on our Transparency Hub.

why bamboo matters

Bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable grass that regenerates from its root system — it needs less water, fewer inputs and less land than conventional tree pulp. That makes it an attractive, lower-impact alternative for tissue products — provided the product is genuinely made from bamboo and not blended with other woods or recycled pulp.

independent TAPPI T-401 testing — what we did

To verify our claims we commissioned third-party laboratories to analyse samples of Bumboo using the TAPPI T-401 fibre analysis standard. This method identifies the percentage of hardwood, softwood and non-wood fibres (including bamboo) present in a paper product.

what the tests showed

• 100% bamboo across tested batches (no hardwood, no softwood).
• Testing performed by independent labs using TAPPI T-401 fibre analysis.
• Certificates and batch summaries are published for transparency.

how often do Bumboo carry out fibre tests

FSC-certified bamboo — responsible sourcing

In addition to independent fibre testing, the bamboo used in Bumboo rolls is sourced from FSC-certified plantations. That gives a chain-of-custody and independent oversight of harvest and supply practices — protecting biodiversity and local communities.
