Environmentally Friendly Paper Products
More and more people are wishing to buy paper which is environmentally friendly however there are still too many theories to say exactly what paper is the kindest to our environment. So please see below the 3 most popular options available which might help you decide which you believe is best for our environment.
100% Recycled Tissue
This is commonly considered to be the best for our environment if it is genuinely 100% recycled with no added dyes. However a 100% recycled paper without dye is a nasty looking brown coloured paper which very rarely gets accepted by the end user. Therefore most 100% paper has a dye added to it which in some people’s opinion is not right either. Recycled paper is often less biodegradable than pure as well.
In most cases this will be the best looking product and the most biodegradable option as well. However this is not considered to be the most environmentally friendly option because trees are cut down to produce it. However Mills are now required to plant replacement trees for every one they cut down therefore pure paper does come from a sustainable source.
Pure / Recycled Mixed Tissue
This is a tissue which is commonly made up of 70-80% pure pulp and the remainder of recycled. This way many people believe that you get the best of both of both worlds. You get a partly recycled product which most people like however because most of the tissue is made up of pure pulp you still get a bright paper that is nice in appearance meaning that less or no dye is used.
