Why is the outer multipack plastic?

Retail distribution often pushes brands toward shrink film for shelf integrity. We disclose this rather than pretend it isn't there. Households prioritizing fully plastic-free packaging may prefer Who Gives A Crap or Reel.

Is bagasse safe to use?

Yes. Bagasse-based paper has been used in foodservice and tissue products for decades.

Our Editorial Standard

Every product in our directory is evaluated using the Modern Holistic Living Standard. We assess materials, ingredient transparency, long-term durability, everyday practicality, replacement availability, manufacturer consistency, and overall value before including any recommendation. We only feature products we would calmly recommend to our own families.

Editorial

Why we recommend it

Combines bamboo with sugarcane bagasse — the fibrous byproduct left after sugarcane juice extraction — turning an agricultural residue into a useful tree-free fiber.
Processed chlorine free (PCF) bleaching avoids elemental chlorine entirely.
Widely available in U.S. grocery and natural-food retailers, which makes tree-free toilet paper accessible without a bulk subscription.
The sheet itself is unscented, undyed, and lotion-free.

Transparency

Things to know

01
Multipacks are wrapped in a thin film rather than paper — a packaging compromise relative to the strictest plastic-free brands.
02
Caboo is a privately held company; ownership and supply-chain disclosures are less detailed than Certified B Corporations in this directory.
03
Sheet feel is on the lighter side; closer to commodity bamboo than a premium plush sheet.
04
Sugarcane bagasse availability is regional and supply can vary seasonally.

Ingredients & formula highlights

01 — Ingredient

Sugarcane Bagasse

The fibrous pulp left after sugarcane is pressed for juice. Using it for paper turns an agricultural byproduct into a useful, rapidly renewable fiber.

02 — Ingredient

Bamboo

Blended with sugarcane to give the sheet structure. Bamboo regrows from its root system in months rather than the decades softwood requires.

03 — Ingredient

Processed Chlorine Free (PCF)

PCF bleaching uses oxygen-based brighteners and avoids elemental chlorine, reducing dioxin byproducts compared with traditional kraft pulp processing.

The standard

Why it made the cut

Caboo earns a conditional place because it solves the most important problem — getting tree-free toilet paper into mainstream retail at an accessible price.
The outer plastic film multipack is the main compromise; the sheet itself is genuinely thoughtful.
