Andrex Gentle Clean
Not really sustainable

I was excited to try this toilet roll because it implied with was a greener option, I thought it was great that a mainstream toilet paper manufacturer was finally getting on board with being greener.
Unfortunately, the wrapping is still plastic, it's made from only 30% recycled plastic, meaning 70% new plastic. They state that it's 100% recyclable but, as we know, plastic bags are not widely recycled. There is no mention at all of the paper itself being made from recycled material.
On the plus side, it's manufacturer in the UK from UK sourced FSC certified wood so carbon footprint is lower than other brands.
The toilet roll itself is average softness, it does hold together well, no ripping. The puppies are cute but the rolls are short and it doesn't last long. With a family of five, we went through it very fast.
I wouldn't recommend this product if you're looking for something sustainable for the environment or your pocket!
