Works out to be $0.2083 per 100 sheets.
Better than the recent specials on most (maybe all?) brands at Colesworth.

I bought some yesterday from beneath a big "SPECIAL" sign, but going on the website, this could well be their normal price? Either way, I rate this toilet paper on par with Quilton. Excellent quality at this price.

Description from website (which made me giggle, lol) :

Give your derriere a little treat every day with Emporia 3 Ply Toilet Tissue. With an ultra soft and silky feel, this embossed toilet paper feels like you're wiping with a cloud. It has a three-ply design, and is unscented for delicate skin. And with 48 rolls per pack, you won't have to worry about the dreaded empty toilet roll holder for quite some time!

    My favourite toilet paper brand and great price. It has great strength while maintaining the softness, always a pleasure to wipe my rear with this toilet paper. Highly recommended!

          We found thought Emporia>Quilton>=Aldi. Something about the Aldi paper that wasn't quite up to Quilton standard, but Emporia was more firm and plush. Each to their own, as we all know someone who opts for Kleenex.

    • spaceflight on 03/06/2018 - 14:13

      Paper comes from trees that have been planted just to be cut down and used for paper.

      You'd make a bigger environmental impact by catching public transport, riding a bicycle, lowering (winter) or increasing (summer) your thermostat temperature etc.

      • OfTheOverflow on 03/06/2018 - 17:36

        I understand that you guys would rather not think about the impact that a lifetime worth of un-recycled toilet paper is doing; pointing to other factors won't absolve you of it.

        Everyone has the burden of choosing more environmentally conscious ways to live. I very rarely drive, catch public transport every day to work, eat locally, recycle all the soft plastic I use back at Coles, etc. We don't have a thermostat. And, I only use recycled toilet paper. I'm not being higher-than-thou, I'm just trying to convince you that it IS a perceptibly a small thing that you can do to minimize your footprint.

        • spaceflight on 03/06/2018 - 23:25

          I understand that you guys would rather not think about the impact that a lifetime worth of un-recycled toilet paper is doing;

          I didnt say that. By responding to you I am thinking about it.

          pointing to other factors won't absolve you of it.

          The other factors that using virgin paper isnt actually that bad?

          Do you know that entire forests are grown just so that they can be cut down to make paper products? Because of this some areas have more forests than they did before paper plantations.

          Using virgin paper is also carbon neutral.
          The trees are grown for the purpose of producing paper, they absorb CO2 and the parts of the tree that cannot be used to make paper are burnt to make energy to power the plant. The same levels of CO2 emitted are then absorbed by the new forests as they grown.

          Unless a paper recycling plant commits to use only 100% renewable energy then paper recycling has a higher CO2 footprint.

          Everyone has the burden of choosing more environmentally conscious ways to live.

          Is using carbon neutral FSC certified paper not better than using recycled paper which is not carbon neutral?

          And yes, recycling paper is much better than putting it in landfill. But virgin paper is not worse than recycled.

          I very rarely drive, catch public transport every day to work, eat locally, recycle all the soft plastic I use back at Coles, etc.

          I'm the same.

          I'm just trying to convince you that it IS a perceptibly a small thing that you can do to minimize your footprint.

          I didnt think you were. Recycling is great, but recycled paper isnt necessarily any better than virgin paper.

        • OfTheOverflow on 04/06/2018 - 00:52

          @spaceflight: Hey, thanks for your level headed response. I'd be interested to see an unbiased, aggregated comparison of the impact that both processes' have. I'll have a look into it tomorrow.

          It's worth noting though, as @sircable linked above, this brand is particularly detrimental and that's more what was disappointing me.

        • spaceflight on 04/06/2018 - 22:35

          @OfTheOverflow:

          No worries. I'm not trying to say you are wrong or I am right.

          I did try to find something, this was the best in my quick search http://conservatree.org/learn/WhitePaper%20Why%20Recycled.pd…
          But I don't really agree with it all as it ignores that a lot of the energy/CO2 from virgin paper is "free" in the top table
          And as it is written by a paper recycling group then it is going to be somewhat one sided.

          My thoughts are

          Virgin Paper
          Pros
          Carbon neutral if by-products are burnt for energy
          Energy is free if by-products are burnt, it's also renewable
          Promotes forest plantations (even if they are only going to be cut down
          Probably uses less energy through the whole cycle.
          No inputs (only really needs rain and sun)

          Cons
          Could support illegal logging (buy FSC certified etc)
          May promote monoculture forests
          Uses about double the water compared to recycled paper.

          Recycled paper
          Pros
          Stops paper going into landfill and decomposing/polluting (not to bad if the landfill collects methane for power)
          Reduces demand for virgin wood, potentially stopping illegal logging

          Cons
          May use more energy (rubbish collection, sorting, delivery to recycling plant etc. I don't know how this compares to trucking an entire tree)
          Not CO2 neutral
          Not sustainable (paper can only be recycled 5-7 times so we do need virgin paper)
          Paper recycling process may be polluting (bleach, chemicals to remove ink etc)
          "recycled" doesn't mean post-consumer recycled so could be materials like wood-based shipping materials, roll ends from magazine and newspaper print, leftover wood pulp
          If you are taking paper form Australia and sending it to China for recycling you are going to have a big CO2 footprint.

          Apparently if we stopped using virgin paper we would run out of paper in about 2 months because fibres can only be recycled so many times.

          After writing that list of random thoughts

          This site seems to say recycled is better http://www.greenlifestylemag.com.au/node/985/full
          Unfortunately their source article link is broken.

          This one says "recycled paper can, but not always, have an environmental advantage" http://theconversation.com/explainer-is-recycled-paper-reall…

          I'd say if you buy the right virgin paper or right 100% post consumer recycled paper you are probably making a good choice :)

          Edit - This was interesting http://www.newsweek.com/putting-true-price-recycling-trash-3…

      • TransportPosters on 04/06/2018 - 09:14

        I just read some stuff which stated that most toiler paper is made from recycled paper, such as office waste and textbooks. When I think about it, if I was a manufacturer I'd wanna source used waste paper which would be plentiful and easily available to make the process as cheap as possible, not new paper from forests which would no doubt have extra cost.

        • spaceflight on 04/06/2018 - 22:47

          I just read some stuff which stated that most toiler paper is made from recycled paper,

          It isnt.
          If you look at non recycled paper you will probably see it has an FSC Certified logo on it or something similar. If it has this is is using virgin paper.

          When I think about it, if I was a manufacturer I'd wanna source used waste paper which would be plentiful and easily available to make the process as cheap as possible,

          Used paper is "free" however to get it to a factory isn't. The recycling process is still expensive.
          Ignoring manufacturing, I would say it is easier to cut down a 2 tonne tree and get 1 tonne of paper than it is to find 1.3 tonnes of dirty/contaminated paper to get the same 1 tonne of recycled paper.

          not new paper from forests which would no doubt have extra cost.

          Some of the extra costs can be mitigated because you can burn the lignin and leftover wood to get free energy.

          I don't know which one is actually cheaper to produce. I think it would depend on where you are getting the paper from and how it needs to be treated before being recycled.
