Who Gives A Crap produces and distributes recycled toilet paper and donates 50% of their profits to organisations that build toilets in developing countries.

Who Gives A Crap is a social enterprise that sells toilet paper to fund the construction of toilets for those without access to proper sanitation. Their regular toilet paper is made ‘tree-free’ – it contains either 100% recycled post-consumer paper or 100% bamboo, meaning no new trees are cut down for production. It is also produced without inks, dyes or scents. They have also expanded to produce kitchen roll and tissues.

Half of the company’s profits are donated to organisations that provide sanitation facilities, including WaterAid Australia, Sanergy, Shining Hope For Communities, and Lwala Community Alliance. To date, they have given over $1.3 million to projects in countries like Cambodia, Timor-Leste and Kenya.

In 2015, 2.3 billion people still lived without any access to basic sanitation services – in fact, more people in the world have a mobile phone than a toilet. What’s more, 870,000 people died from diseases related to water, sanitation and hygiene in 2016. Providing access to improved sanitation services is key for avoiding preventable illness and death from improper hygiene.
