Tissue paper is THE SMART CHOICE!
Millions of people around the world choose tissue paper every day, everywhere. At home, on-the-go, out for lunch, at the office, on the bus. Tissue paper is the go-to choice in a host of situations. Hygienic, sustainable, and practical, tissue paper offers a convenient and available solution in both domestic and business settings.
SUPERIOR HYGIENE PROPERTIES
Hygiene is essential to the proper functioning of modern society. The global pandemic at the start of the decade underlined the crucial role that hygiene and cleanliness play in keeping our society healthy – not just in our homes, but in the community and the places that we frequent including bars, restaurants, sports centres, libraries, and other public spaces.
The daily use of tissue paper products – from toilet tissue and handkerchiefs through to kitchen paper and hand towels – plays an important role in the control of infection and the promotion of good hand hygiene within the general population.
UNDERPINNED BY SCIENCE
There is a vast body of science demonstrating that paper offers superior hygiene properties. Expert microbiologists from across Europe have carried out numerous studies attesting to the fact that paper plays an important role in reducing the risk of infection and keeping populations healthy. Maintaining hygiene is a key measure in upholding health and helping to minimise the transmission of a host of bacteria and viruses including gastrointestinal and cold/flu infections.

HYGIENE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
IN THE CATERING SECTOR.
In the catering sector, it is not only hand hygiene that is crucial, but total hygiene. Public health regulations require businesses to uphold strict standards of cleanliness throughout their premises – from kitchens and food preparation areas, through to public areas such as dining rooms and of course washrooms. Take a look at our video to learn more about how total hygiene is crucial in the catering sector.
FAST FACTS ON PAPER AND HYGIENE
Paper handkerchiefs are a part of our everyday lives. Whether it’s catching sneezes or mopping up spills, you never know when you will need a paper tissue to hand. And because they are disposable, you can be confident that you are unlikely to pass on infection.
Using absorbent paper hand towels and kitchen roll is scientifically proven to be an extremely hygienic way to dry hands after washing and also to clean surfaces. Whether it’s in the house or away from home, your family, customers and staff deserve the best.
Kitchen towels are a go-to solution in both domestic and commercial settings. They offer a hygienic way to dry hands and wipe down surfaces after cleaning – not just in the kitchen but all around the house.
Toilet paper is a staple feature in any washroom – at home, in restaurants, in public places – toilet tissue is a universal go-to product that we all know and trust as being hygienic and helping to reduce the risk of infection.
SUSTAINABILITY AT ITS CORE
Tissue paper is the smart choice for a sustainable world. The paper industry has taken a sustainable, long-term approach for centuries. Its raw material – wood pulp – is made from a renewable resource which has a growing cycle of around 50 years – so the industry has always had to look to the future.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Tissue paper has been trusted for generations. A natural product, it is made from a sustainable resource that actively contributes to decarbonisation. Trees absorb CO2 while emitting O2. Young, growing trees emit the most O2 – so continually replanting trees as a part of sustainable forest management is good for the environment.
SUSTAINABILITY ACROSS ITS VALUE CHAIN
The tissue paper industry is committed to sustainability right across its supply chain – from water and energy use through to recovery and recycling. It supports the EU and UN goals of sustainable growth and responsible consumption and production and is working to reduce, reuse and recycle throughout its lifecycle.
