The Good Roll products are being launched into the UK market thanks to an exclusive deal with retailer Asda as part of the Amsterdam-based brand's foray into new markets. The products themselves are characterized as being 100% tree-friendly with a 100% bamboo composition, while also being free from colorants, chlorine and fragrances to boot. The products each come in plastic-free packaging and the brand donates 50% of its profits to helping maintain toilets through its The Good Roll Foundation.
Buying Manager for Household Paper at Asda Sarah Yorke spoke on the arrival of The Good Roll products at stores saying, "We love everything about The Good Roll’s ethos – not only the positive impact they have in less developed communities but also the fact that their products are produced using sustainable materials, are fully recyclable and made in Europe so they don’t need to be shipped from the other side of the world. We can’t wait to be able to offer our shoppers a more-ecofriendly product within our range.”
