Custom Printed Tissue Paper

1.100% Recycled Content:
Seek tissue made with 100% recycled paper fibers and as much post-consumer waste as possible. Goods made with recycled content use less energy and water and create less pollution than virgin counterparts. 

2.Recyclable:
Seek tissue that is recyclable at end-of-life. Recycling enables the raw materials to be used again and keeps goods out of the landfill. Tissue is recyclable when facilities accept it, and compostable for the small group of waste management providers that ask you to compost rather than recycle it. Ensure your tissue is free of glitter, foils, and other non-paper additions to keep our recycling and composting streams clean.

3.Processed Chlorine-Free:
Seek tissue that is processed without bleach, chlorine, chlorine derivatives and is either not re-bleached or bleached with an oxygen-based system.
Until 30 years ago, paper mills used elemental chlorine to bleach pulp. When that chlorine combined with the lignins, it produced furans and dioxin (a carcinogen) that ended up in wastewater. 
Most mills now use chlorine dioxide, which produces fewer dioxins. The idea of paper produced “ECF” or elemental chlorine-free is a standard that is relevant only for virgin paper. 

4.Printed With Minimal Ink:
Seek tissue with relatively low ink coverage and water- or soy-based inks. When ink coverage is high, or the entire sheet is dyed a different color, these pigments can contaminate recycling and composting. Avoid digitally printed tissue as this is often printed with toner that contains plastics.
