ECO, environment, green The environment and IssueTissue®
Ideas around sustainability will become more prominent, particularly in marketing campaigns, which themselves are expected to make further use of the new media channels now available to brands. It is our commitment to supply innovative and high quality promotional products with a minimum adverse effect on our global environment. The increased use of tissues also demands environmental awareness both of manufacturers and users. For this reason we are also selling Forest Stewardship Council*** (FSC) certified tissues. All materials used in production of our products meet with EU regulations where applicable. The specifications stated underneath should be used as indication only as these may be changed for compelling reasons. All our paper pulp is sourced from sustainable wood forest and we use 100% virgin pulp to obtain the required softness for facial tissues. In addition we use oxygen bleaching to get the whiteness and no Optical Brightening Agents (OBA) The toilet roll and kitchen towel substrate is 100% virgin pulp taken from pine and eucalyptus wood from sustainable forests. They can be recycled, are 100% biodegradable and do not contain any OBA (Optical brightening agents). The substrate used for the wet wipes is a synthetic material that is not suitable for flushing down toilets. Made from 70% Viscous and 30% Polyester spun laced material. It is not recycled material. The material to be printed on complies with the same quality standards that apply to all types of cardboard used by us: Grammage ± 300 g/m2, Whiteness 86 Elrepho +/- 1%, Thickness 500 micron +/- 5%, Stiffness according to DIN 53121 MD mNm > 42,0 :CD mNm > 21,0.
Cardboard is a natural product and may show small, acceptable variation within the high quality standards that we set.
Our card board used in production of tissue boxes is fully recyclable. As are all our film wraps. All corrugated board (outer boxes used) are 100% recycled material. None of our raw materials contain: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent chrome, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), Animal derived products, ingredients from genetically modified sources, PVC, alkyltin derivatives, azodyes, Bisphenol-A. *** FSC was established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC brings people together to promote responsible forest management and to find solutions to the problems created by bad forestry practices. More than 100 million ha forest worldwide were certified to FSC standards in April 2008, distributed over 79 countries. FSC certified forests represent the equivalent of 7% of the world’s productive forests.
