Earth Friendly Products, the maker of ECOS™ environmentally friendly cleaning products, has broadened its assortment to now include ECOS Treeless Paper Products—made with renewable bamboo and sugarcane.

By going all the way back to the raw material level, the product development team at Earth Friendly Products says it realized that the most renewable solution was to not use trees at all, and instead look for an alternative source for paper pulp. Bamboo and sugarcane, which are some of the most renewable grasses on the planet, proved to be the best choice to create the new ECOS Treeless Paper Products—which include ECOS Bathroom Tissue and ECOS Paper Towels.

The extra-long fibers found in bamboo and sugarcane provide added flexibility and strength for even the toughest cleaning tasks. They also add to the softness of ECOS Paper Towels and Bathroom Tissue, making them supple and silky, according to Earth Friendly Products. Both products are biodegradable, free of inks, dyes and fragrances and are safe for sewer and septic systems, the company says.ECOS_Bamboo_PaperTowel_Single-(1)-new

“We believe ‘green’ shouldn’t be a luxury and strive to bring the best environmentally friendly products to our customers at a great value,” says Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, president and CEO of Earth Friendly Products. “With our new ECOS Treeless Paper Products, we’re creating a new generation of green paper products that provide a more sustainable alternative to recycled paper products and that consumers really love.”

Added Jenna Arkin, product development director at Earth Friendly Products, “When developing ECOS Treeless Paper Products, we looked at the entire lifecycle of paper production with fresh eyes so we could improve on the process from start to finish. We’re creating a completely state-of-the-art product by eliminating trees from the paper process, and we’re instead using a superior, alternative source from nature to create treeless paper products, which are the future of sustainable paper products.

“From the raw material, all the way to the end product, ECOS Treeless Paper Products are designed to be as sustainable as possible. The product is not bleached, but instead uses hydrogen peroxide to brighten the pulp. Unlike bleach, hydrogen peroxide reacts instantly and once it has whitened the pulp, it turns into water and oxygen, leaving no chemical residues behind. Most importantly, the production process uses less water, emits less Co2 and uses less fuel than the recycled paper production process. We also worked closely with our raw material suppliers to ensure that all of our bamboo sources are panda bear friendly and never taken from panda food sources.”

ECOS Paper Towels contain 115 towels per roll and are available in single rolls and six-roll packs. ECOS Bathroom Tissue is available in packs of four or 12 double rolls, with each roll containing 300 two-ply sheets. Both products are now available for purchase in select conventional, natural and independent retailers nationwide.
