This is why we roll
Sit down for a moment and think about this.
We are The Good Roll, makers of 100% European recycled and bamboo toilet paper. Our mission is simple: Safe and clean toilets for everyone! With 50% of our net profit we build toilets in Ghana.
The Good Roll was born out of a shared frustration. There are 2.3 billion people worldwide who do not have access to safe and clean toilets, one third (!) of the world's population. In addition, 27,000 trees are cut down every day for the production of paper.
Shocking figures if you ask us. So shocking that they inspired us to develop The Good Roll; an initiative with which we want to tackle both problems. A unique Dutch win-win concept: 100% tree-friendly toilet rolls, made from bamboo or European recycled paper, with which we want to give as many people as possible access to safe and clean toilets.
The Good Roll donates 50% of its net profit each year to building toilets in developing countries. This is the net profit, so the profit that remains after the costs incurred (staff, office) have been deducted.
Social Enterprise and Workplace
In addition to a truly sustainable product, we also want to make a direct social contribution. That is why we work with a social enterprise for the wrapping and packaging of part of our products. In this way, we offer work and guidance to more than 75 people!
People who work at a social enterprise have a distance to the labor market. Read more about our social workplace here .
