New Seattle-based tree-free toilet paper startup gets high-profile investors

While the days of empty shelves and panic buying are (hopefully) behind us amid the COVID-19 pandemic, one product has emerged as the most unlikely commodity of the year: toilet paper.

And a new Seattle startup is capitalizing on people's renewed appreciation of TP while also offering a more sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to the paper-based rolls you buy at the store.

Cloud Paper, a tree-free toilet paper startup based in Seattle, was started by University of Washington graduates Ryan Fritsch and Austin Watkins with the goal of giving people a way to lessen their environmental impact and end deforestation caused by tree-based paper products.

The company offers monthly subscriptions boxes with their 3-ply bamboo-derived toilet paper with convenient delivery right to the customer's door. All packaging is recycled and plastic free, and even the delivery of the toilet paper is carbon neutral, keeping with their eco-friendly mission.

Just sent them a message asking if possible to simply purchase what I need, as they are using a subscription model. Otherwise, I'd love to try this

Edit to add: Went back and checked their FAQ (should have done that first). You can adjust the frequency, so I may give this a try. Who doesn't want bamboo TP?
