Scott Naturals® Toss The Tube Sampling - Crowdtap


My Instagram
I received a four pack of Scott Naturals® Tube-Free toilet paper this week from Crowdtap to review. I can't wait to share this greener solution with my followers!

What Was In The Package?

  • 1 4-roll package of Scott Naturals® Tube-Free toilet paper
  • 1 sampling insert

Why Is This Important?

Reducing our footprint is important to me, so why not start with something small: toilet paper tubes! What do you do with your toilet paper tubes currently? Most people just throw them away and think nothing of it but there's much more that you can do! Doing a quick internet search pulls up all kinds of ideas of how to reuse them such as recycling, composting, or more creative uses such as cord organizers.

But why use them at all? Why even have them in the house. Keeping them out of a landfill is great but that's just one half of the problem. The other half involves the manufacturing process. As with any product, tubes require resources and energy. If a company doesn't make their own tubes, then packaging and transportation are also added to the environmental cost. And, of course, not everyone finds a use for them ... billions end up in landfills each year.

Scott Naturals® Tube-Free toilet paper is coming to the rescue to reduce your paper usage and assist in keeping these paper products out
of landfills! Toilet paper and a cardboard tube has been around for centuries but what if they didn't have to go hand-in-hand?

I learned that Scott Naturals® Tube-Free toilet paper is the only major brand that is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. The FSC has confirmed that this product has been sourced in an environmentally-friendly, socially responsible and economically viable manner. The company tried adding recycled content to the product but found that the quality and softness was compromised. They are currently researching alternative fibers for potential use in the future.

How Does Scott Naturals® Tube-Free TP Stack-up Against The Competition?

My Instagram
Each roll contains four hundred unscented one-ply sheets. Typically, one-ply sheets are thin and flimsy but these ones are thick and sturdy. My toilet-paper holder has a compressible roll holder that is quite large in diameter but it still slips easily through the roll's opening. The best part about this paper is that at the end of the roll, the final sheet slips easily off the holder.

The paper is appropriate for use in septic tanks or direct sewer line connections. There's nothing to dislike about this toilet paper and everything to love about reducing your family's waste!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free from Crowdtap.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
