Panda Paper is premium toilet paper made from 100% bamboo, and 100% of its profits go to House of Sadaqa to support local families in need. It is delivered plastic-free, with free shipping across Sydney, and it costs you nothing extra to make the switch meaningful.
Toilet paper is the least glamorous thing in your house and one of the few you will never stop buying. That makes it an unusually good place to do some quiet good.
Why bamboo instead of trees
Conventional toilet paper is made from trees, and an enormous number of them are cut down purely to be flushed away. Bamboo is technically a grass, not a tree, and it is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. It regrows from its own root system after harvesting, without replanting, and reaches maturity in a fraction of the time a tree takes.
The practical result is a product that performs like premium paper without the deforestation behind it.
Does bamboo paper actually feel good?
This is the question everyone asks, and it is fair. Early eco paper had a reputation for being thin and scratchy. Bamboo fibre is naturally soft, strong and absorbent, which is why Panda Paper is built around it rather than recycled pulp. It is designed to be a straight swap for premium supermarket paper, not a compromise you tolerate for the cause.
Where the money goes
This is what separates Panda Paper from other eco brands. It is not a company that donates a slice of proceeds for marketing purposes. It is owned by a registered charity, and 100% of its profits go to House of Sadaqa, funding the Family Support Program that helps local families with whitegoods, furniture and emergency essentials.
There are no shareholders taking a cut. The margin that would normally become profit becomes a washing machine for a family starting over.
Delivery and plastic
Rolls arrive wrapped without plastic, and shipping is free across Sydney. Because it is delivered by the box, most households order a few months at a time and stop thinking about it, which is arguably the best feature of any toilet paper.
For offices and businesses
Panda Paper also supplies businesses and organisations wholesale. If your workplace is going to buy bathroom supplies regardless, routing that spend through a charity-owned supplier is one of the simplest social procurement decisions available. Contact the team through the Panda Paper website to discuss wholesale.

Frequently asked questions
Is bamboo toilet paper better for the environment?
Bamboo is a fast growing grass that regrows from its own root system after harvesting, without replanting, so it does not rely on felling trees the way conventional toilet paper does.

All of it. Panda Paper gives 100% of its profits to House of Sadaqa, a registered Australian charity, which uses them to support local families in need.
