CO2 Reduction, Renewable and Recycled are very popular and important topics of our days. The Renewable wood fibers used in papermaking grow on trees, and come mainly from sustainable, managed forests and tree plantations. It is hard to think of any other major manufacturing industry that uses such a high proportion of renewable resources as its primary raw material.

Recycled fibers play a very big role as well as a raw material for tissue paper. It makes up close to 35% of the total fibers going into tissue making worldwide. Today, worldwide demand for recycled wood fibers is very high. Essentially all recycled fibers that can be used, are being used. Wood fibers are naturally degraded after they are recycled 3-5 times, so therefore new fibers must always be coming into the system.

CO2 reduction, the managed sustainable forests which feed the paper industry bind trillions of tons of carbon, helping reduce global warming. Furthermore, the pulp mills which process the wood to make pulp are mainly powered by a renewable bio-fuel, the energy-rich lignin which glues fibers together in the trees. Wood is essentially made up of cellulose fibers and lignin and burning the lignin, instead of finite and carbon-emitting fossil fuels, is positive from an environmental viewpoint.
