What Shoppers Should Know About Costco's Kirkland Toilet Paper
By A.E. FEENSTRA
Costco's ubiquitous Kirkland brand is famous for being mysterious and sometimes surprising, and you may be wondering where its ever-affordable toilet paper originates from.
Costco doesn’t own its own manufacturing plants. Instead, its toilet paper is made by partners like Georgia-Pacific, an American company that also makes Angel Soft toilet paper.
Although the toilet paper is produced near Kirkland, Washington, it is sourced from Canada’s boreal forest and processed within Canada before reaching Costco locations worldwide.
Environment America reports that Kirkland toilet paper is made from virgin wood fibers as opposed to sustainable or recycled products, negatively impacting forests and wildlife.
