    • Their shipping is carbon neutral, at least.

      And their whole motivation to start was the charity aspect, it's not like they're a bank who suddenly decided the CEO could afford to be paid a bit less.

      "50% of profits" is such a nebulous concept.

      You can allocate more money to staff wages, management wages and other costs to massage that profit figure to whatever you want. I admire the initiative but am disappointed by lack of transparency on this point. It hasn't stopped me from buying the TP, but it doesn't sit well with me.

      Patagonia have a model whereby they donate 1% of revenue to environmental causes. It's not a figure they can manipulate, assuming everything is audited.

      However, I do concede that for most people, 50% of profits sounds a whole lot more impressive than 1% of revenue.

      • There’s a link in here to AFT that states how much WGAC has donated and it’s millions of dollar and more than Qantas.

        • +1

          They do donate $, I'm not disputing that. They have transparency about how much they donate, and it's in the millions, again that's not in dispute.

          But a term like '50% of profits' donated is certainly not best practice, and disingenous at worst.

          For businesses that leverage charitable donations as part of their appeal, transparency is paramount. Consumers deserve full information on what impact their purchases/contributions make. The Effective Altruism movement is quite good at setting out principles for the thorough audits of charities and not-for-profits to ensure that the ratio of money that is received doesn't get squandered or disproprotionately allocated to admin and other costs.

          There are unfortunate examples of businesses that claim to donate profits, but end up donating little if any. This is one example:

          https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/nonprofit-bar-sh…

          Again, WGAC does donate. And it's in millions. Not disputing that. But WGAC enjoys a tremendous amount of goodwill derived from their '50% of profits donated' claim and certainly. In the circles I move in, there's a strong preference to buy from them based on this claim. But consumers who buy from them deserve the highest standards of transparency in respect of their purchases and I'm not sure why anyone, other than WGAC, would argue otherwise!

    I had a bit to do with the founder 15 years ago. A lovely bloke, and the real deal in terms of putting the cause first.

    • +6

      Shame this is ozbargain where nice people and good causes don't matter; i'd kill my first born for $0.08 off a tin of tuna from Coles.

      • But is the tuna sustainably sourced?

      • It's phony people thinking to be better than others claiming local.

  • +4

    This toilet paper comes from China. Not sure if anyone gives a crap. But I prefer to buy local where possible.

    • +2

      You've previously upvoted deals of products made in China, how are they any different to this?

      • +3

        The price is very expensive when you factor in you can buy Australian made toilet paper for a fraction of the cost.

        • Wasn't the reason for your negative vote that it is manufactured in China and to support local? What does price have to do with that?

          • +3

            @magic8ballgag: Price is a big factor. Why would you buy an imported product that costs more than Australian? Don't you want to support jobs and encourage manufacturing?

  • Anyone else clenching in anticipation of the future discomfort?

  • +1

    Theses are really expensive

  • +3

    False hope.. thought this was some subscription model from Dan Murphy :-/

  • Used this once i was in a airbnb, liked it enough to order 48 pack one. Missed the yesterday's deal and coles/wollies nearby are empty (not sure why though)

  • -1

    Cheaper elsewhere. Better wait for offers on Amazon…

  • +1

    Had a free pack given to me. Love the concept and packaging but the product itself was disappointing. Too rough!

  • +2

    So it's rough paper, not that cheap, huge carbon print to produce and deliver, and still little treehuggers go for it because "they donate" and it's "recycled".

  • +4

    Expensive for what it is really. A cheaply made product shipped in from China.

    icare have recycled paper made locally in Melbourne at about the same price. Sure they aren't donating as much but they aren't contributing as much carbon as WGAC are either…

    You also have to wonder about how environmentally friendly the processing plants are in China

    Donations vs Carbon output (not including paying for credits)

    WGAC not FSC Certified…?

    Earthcare another recycled brand made locally in Brisbane. Cheaper at $44 for 48 rolls (400 sheets) but only 2-ply.

    WGAC have just received a $41.5 Million investment, so lets see if they invest in local production or if they'll continue to use cheap off-shore labour.

    • +2

      WGAC not FSC Certified…?

      Why would they be when they use recycled paper?

  • +2

    I don't give a crap that it's made in China, and I support their charity efforts, but this product is crap. Far too rough and fragile.

    I purchased a 48 pack on brand name novelty alone and didn't even get through the whole box before giving it away to family.

    I use Quilton 3 ply instead and happy with it.

  • +1

    A CRAP gift card! Just what everybody needs.

  • Amazon Prime has free delivery and discounts on toilet tissue.

    It's worth having a look.

  • i care about the environment, but i'm not using someone else's used toilet paper. i have to draw the line somewhere, lol.

    • +1

      It's recycled paper pulp, not recycled toilet paper.

  • +4

    I love these guys. Take some of the cheapest imported paper available (all recycled is pretty rough and immediately distinguishable from virgin paper), put an environmental marketing slant on it and retail it at a premium price. Absolutely brilliant.

    • That's Australian drop shipping family business for you.Most of them starts up from the sunshine state !!

  • +1

    Was given a box of this during last year's TP panic buying frenzy. Thank God it's finished, its awful stuff. Feels like the 1ply stuff you get in a public toilet. Disintegrates so easily so you go through 5x as much.

  • Buy 48 pack of toilet paper (preferably name brand). Wrap individually with some $2 per roll wrapping paper. Sell for $42. Profit.

  • +1

    Would love to support the environment in any way possible, but bum-paper quality is not something I compromise forthrightly.

    I've used who gives a crap before, and tbh I think I'd compare the experience to newspaper :(

  • I don't see how imported toilet paper is environmentally friendly. Even if they offset their footprint KMB and Asaleo make it here and they have sustainability programmes too. You'd be better off buying toilet paper cheaply that is locally made and donating the surplus to offsets.

  • Good quality loo paper

  • +3

    This toilet paper is low quality but the price isn't cheap, no deal here.

    Buy this for half the price, 100x better toilet paper (or get it even cheaper when amazon has it on sale) https://www.bigw.com.au/product/quilton-3ply-white-toilet-ti…

    • -2

      Only 180 sheets per roll. At a unit cost (cents per 100 sheets) it’s practically the same price.

      • +2

        Only 180 sheets because it's thicker, which means you don't have to use as much and it's nicer on your ass.

  • +2

    This is in stock 45 rolls delivered for $18 for prime members.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07KY6Z67S

    • $18 for subscribe and save but of course can cancel anytime. Ends up as 22.2c/100 sheets. So 1 cent per 100 sheets cheaper.

      • +1

        1c a sheet cheaper is the wrong way to look at it, you need fewer sheets of the Quilton as its thicker and higher quality. So its much better value than just 1c a sheet cheaper.

  • I subscribed last year and got my first box, then had a notification that the next order had been shipped, but it never arrived. Tracking number didn't exist.
    There are no contact details or telephone numbers to call WGAC, only a message box on their website, which I messaged twice and didn't get any reply. I had to contact the bank to stop the subscription payments.
    While I was very happy to pay more for a good cause, I now buy retail and make charitable donations instead
