An analysis of the breakdown of paper products (toilet paper, tissues and tampons) in nature environments, Tasmania, Australia

Article Abstract:

The relative breakdown rates of unused toilet paper, facial tissues and tampons undertaken in nine different environments typical of Tasmanian natural areas are examined. The Western Alpine site, typical of alpine sites in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, showed very little decay over the two-year period, even for nutrient enhanced products.
