LOL!!! I can tell from your question that you are just a kid, but ...... recycled toilet paper isn't recycling used toilet paper, silly. It's toilet tissue made from recycled paper!

It's made from paper that people put in recycling bins. It's made of this clean paper which is soaked and broken down to a really watery mix then dried and put on rolls. It is not old toilet paper, nobody would do that. Recycled doesn't mean old dirty paper, and it saves thousands of trees.

Old Newspapers, copier paper, printer paper, wrapping paper, etc are used to make (recycled) toilet paper. English sort of falls short here....in that some people might think (as you seem to do) that used toilet paper is salvaged from the sewers and reused as more toilet paper.

It is not what you think, it is toilet paper that is made out of other recycled paper. Do not worry it hasn't been used before for you know what.

It sounds gross. But who's going to pick the used paper out of the sewer and take it to the recycling plant?
Probably just an urban legend.

This may help you out in your quest. I find it funny that people would be so stupid to think that actual used toilet paper would be recycled and reused. Common on people use your common sense here!

there's 7th generation, marcal, and sunrise. Marcal is the only one available where I live. it's made from recycled paper, instead of cutting down new trees. it's thin and scratchy though, I wouldn't recommend it.
