The price was reasonable, but the rolls, pretty small. Before even having used it, my one frustration upon opening the package was to discover that the rolls were wrapped in 6 four-packs, then rewrapped to sell as a package of 24 --too much unnecessary packaging! One giant step forward, perhaps, but a big one backwards too. I just bought a 24-roll package of Small Steps toilet paper. The price was reasonable, but the rolls, pretty small.

Marcal processes approx. 200,000 tons of recyclables each year. This fiber is recovered from sources across the northeast. The post consumer content is not a focus for Marcal; their mission today and for the past 50 years has been to keep paper out of the waste stream and landfills and saving trees.

I am concerned because post-consumer recycled paper is not listed. My old was at least 80% post consumer. I know it can be called "recycled" even if it just waste from the factory floor which if they claim it has been done since 1950s is probably what they are doing. This type of recycling does not close the consumer recycling loop. WHAT IS THE POST CONSUMER CONTENT? Our grocery has replaced the recycled tp they used to carry with Small Steps.
