What is the deal with recycled toilet paper? Is it good for the environment or bad for you or what? I keep seeing mixed reviews!

Composting toilets use the natural processes of decomposition and evaporation to recycle human waste. Waste entering the toilets is over 90% water, which is evaporated and carried back to the atmosphere through the vent system. The small amount of remaining solid material is converted to useful fertilizing soil by natural decomposition.
Compost toilets work in three steps:

1. Compost the waste and toilet paper quickly and without odor
2. Ensure that the finished compost is safe and easy to handle
3. Evaporate the liquid

This natural process, essentially the same as in your garden composter, is enhanced in "commercial composting toilets" by manipulating the environment in the composting chamber.

If you could see in there there is a real good chance you would see a short radius 90° or a standard T which neither are very conducive to cleaning with a snake.

Hopefully a real plumber will be along with a idea that will help.

Not enough water (Sani`s don`t suck it in)
Recycled dense paper
Old Sani needs a service

One or all of the above should cure it.

There is probably a small bit torn off somewhere. Unplug the machine, take the screws off and open up the lower portion from underneath to check. Use a flashlight. Always "fan" a paper ream before placing a pad of paper into the hopper drawer. Using thicker paper helps prevent jambs. Recycled paper, although good for the environment, is not good for printers or copy machines, it contains 20% virgin wood fibre and 80% paper mache'. Recycled paper tears easy as it doesn't have enough fibre to handle the forces of the rubberized spindles along the paper path. Machines that bend the paper twice in the paper path such as HP's are worse at jamming than are Epsons, for example.

Recycling containers are the containers (often bins) for putting products that can be recycled rather than just thrown away. Items such as plastic, glass, aluminum cans, paper and tin can all be recycled which helps the environment. Many cities have different colored bins for different types of products. Ask your neighbor to clarify where your recycling containers are and what you can put in them.

Do not use Windex. Other than specifically desigined products your best bet is isopropyl alcohol- followed by a soft lens cleaning tissue. ie NOT paper towel or Toilet paper (too much lint and as they are often recycled contain wood particles which can scratch)

Traditional plastics are made from nonrenewable resources like oil, coal and natural gas. They don't break down quickly in landfills, which means they can be extremely harmful to the environment. Biodegradable plastics, however, are made from natural substances such as starch, which can break down easily in landfills and have much less of an impact on the environment. Recycling biodegradable plastic is even more beneficial for the environment because it ensures that the plastic will be used again and less virgin material will need to be produced.
1.Contact your local waste management service and inquire about curbside pickup. Cities throughout the country offer recycling programs that pick up your recyclable materials from your home. Place your biodegradable plastic materials in your designated recycling bin and leave it on your curb on designated pickup days. A recycling truck picks up the bin and handles the recycling for you.
2.Drop off all biodegradable plastics and recyclable material at your local recycling center if your community does not offer a curbside recycling program.
Call the center and ask about drop-off hours and details about what materials are accepted.
3.Search for local recycling programs online. If you are unable to locate a recycling center, search the Internet for recycling programs near you. Local libraries and public schools, for example, sponsor recycling programs that allow you to drop off your biodegradable plastics and other materials for recycling.

You got a bad seal for sure.  Even though it looks like a good seal.  Open up the lid and see if you got any little bubbles floating up from around the seal or listen for a slow water drain around the seal.  Go to Lowes and tell them you need a Korky flapper.  Their the best thing since sliced bread and peanut butter.
