The intrinsic sustainability of the tissue sector: from responsible resource management to environmental certification, the sector is committed to protecting the planet, offering essential products for an eco-conscious future.
The tissue sector stands out for its sustainability. The raw material in fact comes from trees, renewable resources with a growth cycle of just 50 years.
Through responsible forestry practices, the tissue industry is able to constantly regenerate its raw material, ensuring a stable supply for future generations.
A SUSTAINABLE VALUE CHAIN ALONG THE SUPPLY CHAIN
Part of a cutting-edge and environmentally conscious industry, tissue paper manufacturers are actively dedicated to promoting sustainable practices along the entire value chain. The sector adheres to the Legal Logging Code of Conduct, which condemns illegal logging, and over 80% of the material purchased is certified by environmental management systems which strengthen the credibility of the sector, highlighted by brands such as EU Ecolabel, PSC and PEFC.
The tissue paper industry’s commitment to sustainability extends across the entire supply chain, including the production, transportation, recovery and recycling processes of products.
The use of raw materials, such as bark and twigs, together with innovative closed-loop practices, contributes to increasing recovery and reducing waste.
Attention is also paid to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with 58% of energy consumption coming from renewable biomass. The sector is a European leader in the production and use of bioenergy, while also committed to reducing water consumption. Over the past decade, production machines have reduced water consumption by 30%.
Today the tissue paper sector responds to the growing global attention for circularity and the need for sustainable consumption and production, as enshrined in Goal 12 of the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. Through innovation aimed at reduction, reuse and regeneration along the entire value chain, the sector is committed to meeting the three pillars of sustainability (environmental, economic and social).
The goal is to continue to provide essential products to preserve the health of people and the planet.
