Serious Tissues, septic tank safe.

Septic tanks are an important component of many homes and businesses, and choosing the right toilet paper is critical in ensuring the proper functioning of these systems. Conventional toilet papers, made with a high percentage of virgin fibers, can cause blockages and lead to costly septic tank problems. This is why Serious Tissues, 100% recycled toilet paper, is a great choice for those who rely on septic tanks.

Serious Tissues is made from 100% recycled fibers, which are much stronger and more durable than the fibers used in conventional toilet papers. These stronger fibers break down more easily in septic tanks, reducing the risk of blockages and backups. Additionally, because Serious Tissues uses only recycled fibers, it generates less waste and is a more environmentally friendly option.

Another factor that makes Serious Tissues a great choice for septic tanks is its lack of added chemicals and fragrances. Conventional toilet papers often contain added fragrances, dyes, and other chemicals that can harm septic tanks by altering the natural balance of bacteria in these systems. Serious Tissues, on the other hand, is free from these harmful chemicals, making it a safer option for septic tanks.

In conclusion, if you rely on a septic tank, it's important to choose a toilet paper that won't cause blockages or backups. Serious Tissues, with its 100% recycled fibers and lack of harmful chemicals, is a great choice for those who want to protect their septic tanks and keep them functioning properly. By choosing Serious Tissues, you'll not only be making a smart choice for your septic system, but you'll also be doing your part to support the environment.

FAQs

Serious Tissues are manufactured in the midlands. By producing in the UK we’re also able to reduce the carbon footprint of our toilet paper. Our loo roll is made from 100% recycled paper and without any unnecessary chemicals (dyes, perfumes, etc.)

Serious Tissues are made from recycled paper (also known as post consumer waste) - no trees are harmed in the making of this product. We use recycled paper - from newspapers, cereal boxes, etc. - instead of bamboo because the carbon footprint is smaller, and we don’t have to ship the bamboo from China. We’re produced in the UK and the source material is also from within the UK.

You can find more information on our tree planting dashboard here. Our current tree planting partner globally is Veritree.

In the past Serious has partnered with different associations, helping run tree planting projects all around the world including Eden Reforestation Projects and The Tree Council. Our partners work with local communities, providing work for those who need it, often in areas affected by extreme poverty. We have planted trees in the UK, Nepal, Indonesia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia, Haiti & Central America.

The health of our oceans is vital to the health of our
planet. For the past 200 years, oceans have absorbed up to 40% of CO2 produced
by human activity but early signs are showing the rise of microplastics in our
seas is disrupting their capacity to act as a natural carbon sink. Plastic is entering our seas at an alarming rate and if the current trend continues, they could contain more plastic than fish by 2050.

That’s why we’re working to cut off the flow of plastic into
the ocean.

For every pack of Serious laundry detergent or bar
soaps we sell, we recover 1kg of ocean-bound plastic. That’s the equivalent of fifty 500ml plastic bottles or 500 crisp packets.

Ocean-bound plastic is defined as the collection of
plastic waste in a 100km radius from the coastline (as defined in the Verra Plastic Standards) that would otherwise not have been collected and would most
likely end up in the ocean. Essentially it is an intervention to divert this plastic safely away from oceans before it has a chance to leak into it.

Recovery is currently managed by our partner, Repurpose
Global, and more information will be available soon on our ‘Plastics’ page.

All of the packaging is plastic free and 100% recyclable.

They are made in Sweden.

Because the laundry strips product is 95% lighter than traditional laundry detergents and far smaller, it means the carbon footprint from shipping is lower than other bulkier products.

We are looking to find a UK supplier soon, but we didn’t want to waste time getting the product to market so we could start making an impact by helping people reduce their plastic consumption and recovering plastic from nature.
