Abstract
This paper aims to compare the concentration of microplastics in recycled and non-recycled toilet paper when tested in a shredded state under controlled laboratory conditions. The goal is to determine whether recycled toilet paper contains fewer microplastics than non-recycled toilet paper. By investigating the microplastic content in recycled and non-recycled toilet paper, this investigation aims to shed light on an often-overlooked source of microplastic pollution. The results will not only enhance the understanding of the environmental impact of toilet paper products but also guide consumers and manufacturers towards more sustainable practices in reducing microplastics in everyday items.
