More than 98% of the toilet roll sold in America comes from
virgin wood. In Europe and Latin America,
up to 40% of toilet paper comes from recycled products.
"Americans in particular like the
softness and strength that virgin fibres provides. It's the
quality and softness the consumers in
America have come to expect."

On a daily basis people are faced with options. Should I drive to work or take the bus? Should I walk to school or get a ride? Should I be using a polystyrene foam cup or a paper one? Should I
buy cloth or disposable diapers for my newborn? Should I accept paper or plastic bags at the
grocery store? Sometimes the answer may be obvious but often times there are heated debates behind
these seemingly simple questions
