Our editorial team selected the products on this list based on extensive research. We examined hundreds of customer reviews and ratings of the most commonly available toilet paper brands in Australia. The ones we chose to include on this list are all FSC certified, PEFC certified or recycled.
Our choice for the best overall toilet paper in Australia for most people is the Kleenex Complete Clean Toilet Tissue. It has more than 170 customer ratings on Amazon with an average of 4.6 stars. Users specifically mention the softness, value for money and quality of the toilet paper.
This two-ply toilet paper has a rippled design for added softness, durability and absorbency. It's also hypoallergenic and biodegradable.
Additionally, while Kleenex is an American-owned company, most Australian products are made here in Australia by manufacturer, Kimberly-Clark. Kimberly-Clarke has partnered with WWF Australia to make sure all paper products the company produces are from a certified sustainably managed forest and each product is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.
ALDI
The best value toilet paper in Australia is ALDI Confidence Hypoallergenic Quilted Softness Toilet Tissue. At 36 cents per 100 sheets, it might seem like an unlikely choice, but when you break down what you're getting for the cost, it offers excellent value.
We calculated the cost per 100 sheets per ply of more than 50 toilet paper products and ALDI Confidence Hypoallergenic Quilted Softness Toilet Tissue was the lowest cost four-ply option at only 9 cents per 100 sheets per ply.
This ALDI toilet paper is hypoallergenic, ink-free, dye-free and FSC certified from sustainable sources.
Naturale 100% Recycled Toilet Tissue is our choice for the best toilet paper for environmental sustainability because in addition to being completely recycled, it's Australian owned and operated meaning all products are made right here in Australia.
Naturale uses a portion of proceeds to help protect the Daintree Rainforest and has planted more than 4,000 trees across 6 hectares. The company also helps fund the conservation of cassowary habitats and is endorsed by Planet Ark. Naturale has a B rating from The Ethical Consumer Group, which is the highest rating for any toilet paper manufacturer.
The 100% Recycled Toilet Tissue is biodegradable, safe for all toilets and the packaging can be recycled through the REDcycle program at local stores such as Coles and Woolworths.
Australian manufacturer Quilton's Gold 4 Ply Toilet Tissue is our choice for the best luxury toilet paper. It has an average 4.8-star rating from over 80 Amazon customers.
It's Quilton's highest ply toilet paper and it has an embossed design for added softness and durability. It's also FSC certified and biodegradable. It's septic safe and can be used in any toilet.
Quilton is also Australian owned and operated and the company has a B rating from The Ethical Consumer Group. Quilton's packaging is also recyclable through the REDcycle program.
Who Gives a Crap
If you want to give back while buying everyday items, we recommend Who Gives a Crap 100% recycled toilet paper. The Australian company donates 50% of profits to help build toilets for those in need and have donated $2.6 million to charity since the company started.
In addition to being made from 100% recycled books and office paper, Who Gives a Crap's toilet paper is ink-free, dye-free and scent-free. It's 3-ply and comes in bulk boxes of 24 or 48 rolls.
It has 264 reviews on ProductReview.com.au with an average of 4.2 stars. Plus, more than 9,500 customers have left reviews on the Who Gives a Crap website with an average rating of 4.9 stars.
The toilet paper is only available through the Who Gives a Crap website, but shipping is free to most of Australia for orders over $30. If you're not happy with the quality of the paper, the retailer offers a 100% money-back guarantee.
Toilet paper typically costs from 10 cents to 75 cents per 100 sheets depending on the brand, the ply count and how the paper is made. When buying toilet paper, remember to consider the following:
There are three main types of toilet paper to choose from.
ECF does not mean that toilet paper is chlorine free; it actually means that the paper has been bleached with chlorine dioxide, rather than elemental chlorine gas. Chlorine dioxide is gentler on the environment and skin than chlorine gas.
Most toilet paper, including recycled toilet paper, is bleached to give it a white appearance. If you want to avoid bleach altogether, you'll need to use brown toilet paper, which often isn't as soft.
Any single-use paper, including toilet paper, has an environmental impact. The practice of producing toilet paper often involves deforestation and chemical bleaching. There are a number of options on the market as developers and manufacturers are now producing recycled toilet paper that can compete with virgin products in the areas of comfort and strength. Bamboo toilet paper is also gentler on the environment. Growing bamboo can also have positive impacts on oxygen emissions, degraded land and erosion control. However, bamboo toilet paper typically costs more than other options.
The FSC is an international non-profit organisation that has created a certification process for forest products that champion sustainability. Look for the tree-tick logo on your toilet paper that indicates it is made using trees from an FSC-certified forest.
PEFC is an international organisation that promotes sustainable forestry practices. It aims to ensure that timber and paper goods are produced in line with ecological, social and ethical standards. It has two classifications: PEFC Certified, which means that 70% of a product has come from PEFC-certified forests, and PEFC Recycled, which means that 70% of a product has come from recycled sources.
