Microplastics have become a topic of critical discussion in biodegradability and human sustainability. Toilet paper is an everyday product widely used across the globe. It is typically made from either virgin wood pulp or recycled paper. Recycled toilet paper is often promoted as an environmentally friendly option due to its use of post-consumer waste. However, the recycling process can introduce contaminants, including microplastics, which may be retained in the final product, making it an unknown source of microplastics in wastewater and in the products we consume. Non-recycled (virgin) toilet paper, on the other hand, is less likely to contain contaminants from the recycling process but still contributes to deforestation and resource depletion and poses the chance of containing microplastics due to its manufacturing process and bleaching process. This paper aims to investigate the question "How does the concentration of microplastics in recycled toilet paper compare to non-recycled toilet paper when tested in a shredded state and in controlled laboratory conditions?". Through the usage of oxidative degradation methods the organic matter in toilet paper can be broken down and isolated from microplastics alongside other unintended organic material, similar to how toilet paper can be decomposed with microplastics being left behind in the environment. This paper's hypothesis is that recycled toilet paper contains a higher concentration of microplastics than non-recycled toilet paper when tested in a shredded state; and tested with oxidative degradation using hydrogen peroxide and filtration for microplastics.
