Howdy Compo Crew! 🌿 In today's video, we're diving deep into the world of composting toilets and the best toilet paper options for them. 🧻 We'll cover everything from the number of plies, softness, origin, and composition of different types of toilet paper, to how and where to store it, especially for those of you on the road. 🚐🏡

Key Topics Covered:

Do You Need Specific Toilet Paper?

While any toilet paper can technically be used, we'll discuss why sustainable options that break down faster and have fewer chemicals are better choices.
Traditional vs. Recycled Toilet Paper:

Learn about the manufacturing process of traditional toilet paper using virgin wood pulp and chemicals like chlorine.
Discover the benefits of recycled toilet paper, which uses waste paper and requires less bleach.
Why Bamboo Toilet Paper is the Best Choice:

Bamboo TP uses 30% less water in its production, needs no chemical additives, and breaks down quickly, making it both septic and compost safe.
Sustainable Sourcing:

Look for FSC or SFI logos on packaging to ensure your toilet paper is from a sustainably managed source.
Considerations for Thickness and Ply:

Thicker, quilted TPs may not break down as quickly. Single or double-ply options are better for composting.
Storage Tips for Van Life and Tiny Homes:

Tips for storing toilet paper when space is minimal and shop options are limited.
Using an Agitator in Your Compost Toilet:

If your compost toilet has an agitator, keep toilet paper separate to avoid issues. If not, feel free to compost it directly.
Composting Tips:

Dirty toilet paper is compostable as long as it's free of harmful chemicals.
Compost your toilet paper in the same chamber as your waste.
Regularly turn your compost, maintain moisture balance, and ensure the temperature is right to speed up decomposition.
Alternatives in a Pinch:

While kitchen roll and paper towels aren't ideal, they can work in emergencies. Avoid baby wipes as they contain harmful chemicals.
Cardboard Tubes:

Composting toilet paper tubes is great for adding carbon to your compost or using them for seedlings in your garden.
