the short answer is yes!
Bumboo's toilet paper, made entirely from bamboo, is suitable for alternative toilets like composting systems and works well with sensitive septic tanks. We've tested our products to ensure they disintegrate properly and are flushable, minimizing issues in normal usage.
However, if your septic system is particularly sensitive, it's a good idea to consult with the manufacturer for any specific recommendations. While our toilet paper is generally compatible with most systems, some may have preferences regarding ply, such as 2-ply versus 3-ply.

the science
Bamboo toilet paper breaks down faster than tree-based toilet paper due to the unique properties of bamboo fibers. These fibers are shorter and more delicate compared to the longer fibers in hardwood or softwood trees used for traditional toilet paper. This structural difference not only allows bamboo toilet paper to disintegrate more easily when exposed to water, facilitating quicker breakdown in septic systems and reducing the likelihood of blockages, but also contributes to its softness. The shorter fibers provide a softer, gentler feel.
Furthermore, bamboo is typically processed with fewer chemicals than traditional wood pulp, enhancing its rapid breakdown and reducing environmental impact, making it an eco-friendlier and more septic-safe choice.
