Ok, bit of a Lavac story that demonstrates that toilet paper doesn't "last" through the pipework... Sailing on a mate's boat, and all that happened with the loo was the output from the bog didn't get pumped out just recirculated into the bowl... The joker valve was calcified. The whole unpleasant mess in the bowl was totally liquefied. It's certainly convinced me that binning normal toilet paper is a totally unnecessary activity, certainly for boats with direct discharge...
Then you haven't been swimming in an anchorage when a boat (hopefully accidentally ) discharges paper along with the rest. I've also had the unpleasant experience more than one of snorkelling over rocks covered in paper.
We can see that waste gets gobbled up fast but paper lingers and lingers.
