IN an effort to reach more consumers, sustainable, tree-free toilet paper brand Reel announced a new strategic partnership with Target. The move puts the toilet paper brand as Target's first completely plastic-free, tree-free bamboo toilet paper in the brand's lineup. Reel's eco-friendly toilet paper will be sold in a specialty 12-pack, exclusively at over 200 Target stores nationwide as well as online at Target.com. According to the brand, each 12-pack purchased "helps to reduce the 27,000 trees that are cut down every day to make toilet paper."
Derin Oyekan, Reel Co-Founder, commented on the partnership, stating: "Reel's mission has always been to fight deforestation caused by daily consumable paper products. A majority of paper products sold in retail are still made from virgin fiber, contributing to the acceleration of climate change. The retail expansion will be a critical element of Reel's growth strategy over the next few years, and we're excited to partner with Target to help achieve this and reach more consumers for a greater impact."
