Tissue paper producers have always had to think long-term as its raw material is a renewable resource with a growing cycle of around 50 years. While in recent years the whole world has woken up to the importance of sustainability and protecting our planet for future generations, for the tissue paper industry it has been a way of life for centuries.

Trees play a crucial role in the earth’s eco-system. They capture and store billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide while at the same time providing the planet with much needed oxygen. And they emit particularly large quantities of oxygen during the growing phase – hence underlining the importance of continually replanting new trees.

With over 80% of the pulp purchased by the European paper industry certified by an environmental management system, tissue paper users can be assured that the industry abides by recognised quality standards. Indeed, some producers go further and their products carry labels such as the EU Ecolabel and FSC and PEFC labels confirming their environmental credentials.
