Why isn't toilet paper 100% Recycled?

I have always wondered, why one use items aren't made from 100% recycled materials.  This doesn't just pertain to toilet paper, but napkins, and paper towels too.  The cardboard roll inside could come from 100% recycle material, as well as cardboard boxes, gift boxes, fast food carryout sacks, perfume boxes, coffee cups - even my toothbrush.  Doesn't your dentist tell you to replace it every six months?

Why aren't more things made from recycled materials?  In fact, why are we throwing out so much that could find at least a second life as something new?  So many things could be kept from the landfill which could be recycled instead, creating a whole lot of new industry and jobs.  I'm wondering why my no one is mining landfills for materials to compost or recycle?

Ask industries and they say it's either too expensive or there is not enough public demand.  Ask the consumer, and they say it because companies don't care.  So which is it?  Both!

The public should yell a bit louder and more often.  Companies should just do the right thing in the first place.  Besides, despite initial costs, it costs less to make use of materials that have been recycled than virgin material.  It would also make a company look much better and attract a whole lot of people who want Green products or buy from companies which are Green.  (No Green washing, people can see through that.)

Every time you, as the consumer, buy something, ask if it was made from recycled materials. Don't except anything that isn't made with less than 80% recycled material.   One use items, like tissues that sooth your nose, should be made from 100% recycle material, nothing less.  They end up in the landfill anyway, so why make it from virgin material?  Better yet, they can be composted.   Demand it, and industry will have to provide it.
