Is bamboo toilet paper free from PFAS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Newland Bamboo\u2019s tissue paper has been rigorously tested by SGS and confirmed to contain no PFAS chemicals. Our products are safe, certified, and eco-friendly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)<\/a> have gained increasing attention in recent years. These chemicals are widely used in various industries. MAMANATION’s experimental evidence<\/a> suggests that toilet paper could be a potential source of PFAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a responsible bamboo household tissue paper manufacturer, we understand the concerns surrounding the presence of PFAS in everyday products. In this blog post, we will shed light on what PFAS are, their potential harm, and how our rigorous testing procedures have confirmed that our tissue products are free from PFAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are PFAS and why are they harmful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PFAS is a class of synthetic chemicals, widely used across industries due to their unique properties, such as water and oil resistance. They are known for their persistent nature and ability to resist degradation, hence earning the nickname “forever chemicals”<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental impact of PFAS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) <\/a>indicated PFAS can endure in the environment for extended periods, and they have a tendency to accumulate in living organisms, presenting potential risks to both ecosystems and human health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health risks of PFAS exposure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)<\/a> has shown that prolonged exposure to PFAS is associated with various health risks, including the impaired immune system, hepatotoxicity, endocrine disruption, cancers, and developmental issues in infants & children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PFAS in Toilet Paper: How and Why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to their potential health impacts, PFAS pose a significant environmental threat. A study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters<\/a> shows that: ” toilet paper should be considered as a potentially major source of PFAS entering wastewater treatment systems”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contamination from the Manufacturing Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So why are PFAS coved in toilet paper? Mamavation’s research<\/a> has uncovered concerning findings about certain toilet paper brands. The experimental data show that popular brands such as Charmin, and Seventh contain a harmful chemical called PFAS. Fortunately, the levels were found to be very low, suggesting that these “permanent chemicals” were not added intentionally but likely slipped in during the manufacturing or packaging process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Newland Bamboo Ensures PFAS-Free Toilet Paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, our company fully acknowledges the significance of consumer well-being and their apprehension regarding the potential hazards associated with PFAS. As a result, we have implemented a range of measures to guarantee that our toilet paper is entirely free from PFAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGS-Verified Testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
