Home Tissue Products: What You DON’T Know!
February 26, 2008
Did you know that: If every household in the United States replaced just one box of virgin fiber facial tissues (175 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 163,000 trees????
Here are some facts about facial tissues we use every day…
Forests are being destroyed to make toilet paper, facial tissues, paper towels and other disposable paper products. You can help stop this destruction by pressing manufacturers to use recycled content and clean manufacturing processes (click here to send a message to paper giant Kimberly-Clark), and by making smart shopping decisions.
Kleenex and Puffs are 0% recyclable and also 0% post-consumer.
Here are some alternatives… Fluff Out, Seventh Generation, Marcal, Hankies.
If you want the full list (as well as the list for toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) then please visit the source here.
