Why tree-free?
TISOO is tree-free to be the most resource-efficient we could be regarding the material we choose to produce our tissue paper. Made of 100% bamboo, classified as grass, TISOO has a lower material footprint than generic tissue paper from wood pulp. Responsible cultivation and harvest of bamboo also create positive socio-environmental impacts on the living conditions in the surrounding area where the bamboo grows.Â
Is your toilet paper safe to flush?
TISOO tree-tree toilet paper is septic-safe certified, meaning it is safe to flush / flushable. This promise is with a note that only a considerable amount of toilet paper will be flushed at once.
Is TISOO compostable?
Yes, we are compostable 🙂
Our friend, Kebun Kumara, did a composting experiment on our products and packaging. Using a simple turning method with a pitchfork and bucket in their backyard, our tissue and packaging have fully composted in just over one month (39 days)*. You can check out the story here.
*tissue used in the experiment is unsoiled, and the packaging was broken into small pieces.
If you wish to home compost, please be mindful of how long it takes to biodegrade. Home composting in the backyard/garden may take longer for soiled tissue paper with oily residue, as oily substances may hinder the tissue’s natural composting ability. However, soiled tissue will biodegrade OK at composting facilities with a heating system.

How does ‘One Tree for Every Product Sold’ work?
We donate one tree to be planted in Indonesia for every bundle sold. We work with Lindungi Hutan Foundation in Indonesia to realise our tree planting initiative. Our reforestation projects in Indonesia currently are donating mangroves to Tambakrejo (Semarang), Kendal (Jawa Tengah), Desa Bedono (Demak) and Kampung Laut (Cilacap). Find out more.
Lindungi Hutan is a fundraising crowdsourcing platform and forest conservation movement that plants a tree in various regions in Indonesia. They also work with seed farmers and the local community to plant and care for the trees. Not only that, Lindungi Hutan periodically carry out tree maintenance for at least one year on the trees that we plant.
Are products manufactured sustainably?
We understand you might be concerned about our source of materials, energy, land and water use, + waste/wastewater generated from making our products. Worry not! We are here to offer a more sustainable solution to tree-based tissue paper in the market.
We work with an up-to-date FSC-certified supplier to ensure our products come from responsibly sourced and managed (bamboo) forests. The type of bamboo we use is called Neosinocalamus affinis, a common bamboo species abundantly available in nature for centuries. Our factory is ISO9001 and ISO14001 and scored A on their BSCI Protection of the Environment area audit report highlighting no detection of wastewater generated from the production process. The report also highlighted factory had established energy-saving procedures, and no obvious pollution was detected during on-site observation. The factory also has established energy-saving procedures.
Why bamboo and not wood?
The use of bamboo as an alternative material to wood has many sustainable aspects:
- the short growth cycle
- can grow in harsh conditions
- doesn’t need replanting
- improve financial conditions of farmers by utilisation of cultivable wasteland
- helping in climate change mitigation by avoided deforestation, afforestation, and carbon sequestration
Why is the tissue white?
Our first range of tissue products is white to ease consumers’ switch from tree-based tissue (usually white, reflecting cleanliness) to our bamboo tissue. We realise pristine white bamboo tissue products with a chlorine-free bleaching method* that uses a small amount of energy and water and generates little waste compared to other bleaching methods.

Our products are also individually wrapped to ensure the hygiene of each roll. We take pride in our decision to be plastic-free.
