Our figures
Our life cycle assessment (LCA)
Naked Sprout have published the climate footprint of our products, making us the first and only toilet paper with Climate Labelling. We're challenging the rest of the industry to do the same.
Our numbers are provided in CO2e, a measure of all the climate changing gasses emitted during the entire life cycle of our products. They come from the most thorough and transparent life cycle assessment (LCA) in our industry, meeting the ISO 14067 standard.
What do we count? Everything - right down to the powering of the individual powering of the forklifts at our factory! Our LCA takes into account:
This covers emissions from growing, harvesting and pulping our bamboo, transporting it to our factory, and collecting the cardboard boxes we use to make our recycled toilet paper.
This is where the big saving is. With no fossil fuels used in manufacturing we have removed the largest source of emissions for toilet paper. And we keep driving innovation at our factory, with a patented process for conserving heat in our furnace, natural adhesives made from pine sap, and 2 ply rolls made with the same thickness as 3 ply.
This is where we calculate emissions caused by moving our rolls from our factory to regional warehouses, and from the warehouses to delivery by courier. Some delivery providers make a carbon offset for delivery to your door, but we don't believe in offsetting at Naked Sprout, so we add the delivery figure back into our total.
