What kind of paper can I use instead of newspaper for Worm Factory 360?

If you don’t have newspaper, you can use other paper materials in your Worm Factory 360, as long as they are non-toxic, untreated, and biodegradable. Here are some great alternatives:

✅ Best Paper Alternatives for Worm Bedding

✔ Shredded Cardboard (brown, uncoated, no glossy prints)
✔ Paper Towels & Napkins (plain, no chemicals or scents)
✔ Toilet Paper Rolls & Paper Towel Tubes
✔ Printer Paper (black & white, no glossy or colored ink)
✔ Brown Paper Bags (shredded into strips)
✔ Egg Cartons (non-glossy, torn into small pieces)
✔ Junk Mail Envelopes (only if no plastic windows or glossy finish)

🚫 Papers to AVOID

❌ Glossy or Coated Paper (magazines, brochures, colored fliers)
❌ Colored Ink Paper (some inks contain toxic chemicals)
❌ Waxed or Plastic-Coated Paper (won’t break down properly)
❌ Receipts (contain BPA, bad for worms & soil)
❌ Bleached or Scented Paper (perfumed napkins, treated paper)

💡 Tip: Always shred or tear paper into smaller pieces to help it break down faster and mix well with food scraps.
