implementing eco-minded manufacturing
Did you know that over 90%* of bath tissue’s
environmental impact occurs in the manufacturing
process? That’s why we decided to highlight one of the
key parts of our manufacturing process that make it
sustainable. Our proprietary, efficient manufacturing
technology squeezes out more water from the paper
before drying. This saves 30% more water and uses
30% less energy**
