Scholar-Backed Bamboo Tissue

University of Miami junior Jimmy Ayash has introduced Kong Rolls, a sustainable toilet paper brand crafted entirely from bamboo, one of the fastest-renewing natural resources on the planet. The bamboo is responsibly sourced from China and shipped to El Salvador, where the paper is produced without PFAS (“forever chemicals”) or BPA (bisphenol A), both of which are commonly linked to environmental and health concerns.

Each Kong Roll features 350 sheets of ultra-soft, three-ply paper that is fully septic-safe. They are available in packs of six, 12, 24, or 48, with free nationwide shipping and prices ranging from $14 to $68. Customers who subscribe receive exclusive discounts and convenient automatic deliveries.

“On top of that, the majority of those trees come from Canada’s boreal forest,” said the Connecticut native, a junior scheduled to graduate in December 2026. “That’s really important because it’s the largest carbon sink in North America. Think about all the animals that live there—they’re losing their habitat. Companies are cutting down these trees every single day on a massive scale.”
