The toilets in Greece

Hey silly question. So I’m at a hotel in Athens and there’s a sign to not put any paper products or anything down the toilet and to use the sanitation bags provided. I’ve seen something similar before in S America. Please forgive me if I come off as entitled or snooty…

First dumb question: They’re telling me when I “drop the explosive kids off at the pool” after a night of hard liquor I should clean myself and take those paper products and put it in the little paper bags and then throw it in the waste basket? And just let it… sit in there until the next room cleaning? I just want to make sure the sign they have on the toilet is referring to toilet paper and they’re not referring to tissues or paper towels.

Second dumb question: What’s the reasoning for this? If I am correct in assuming they’re referring to toilet paper/bath tissue, why can their infrastructure not handle this, as most if not all bath tissue is designed to more or less disintegrate into little pieces after being in the water? Earlier this week I stayed in a different hotel in Athens and they had no such signage.

Thanks for the potty talk!
