Three different types of toilet paper were exposed to a light rain to study the different decomposition rates. The 2-Ply toilet paper, Charmin Ultra Soft, showed the slowest decomposition rate. The 1-Ply Scott Extra Soft and 1-Ply Sealand Rapid Dissolving toilet paper decomposed much faster and showed very similar decomposition rates. Surprisingly the less expensive 1-Ply Scott Extra Soft (Septic Safe) showed a slightly higher decomposition rate than the more expensive rapid dissolving toilet paper. These results suggest that 1-Ply toilet paper shows a superior decomposition rate than heavier 2-Ply toilet paper.
