Growing awareness regarding health and hygiene

The growing awareness regarding health and hygiene boosts the need for tissue paper. With the world continuously on guard for fast-spreading diseases, hand hygiene has become an increasingly important weapon in fighting those diseases. Tissue papers are the best at sucking dirt and oil and keeping germs and viruses free. Bathroom tissue, paper towels, facial tissue, paper handkerchiefs and table napkins play a significant role in cleanliness, hygiene and comfort. Tissue paper products function marvelously to improve hygiene by helping to prevent the spread of germs, bacteria, viruses and diseases.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that hands transmit 80% of all infections. Frequent hand washing can control the spread of flu and other conditions, which costs the U.S over $80 billion each year in medical bills and lost productivity. The World Health Organization also appears to favor the usage of paper towels in its guidance concerning hand hygiene among healthcare workers. Researchers found that bacterias were expelled from washed hands by the mechanical abrasive of drying with tissue papers.

Growing concerns regarding the environmental impacts

Though the tissue papers are produced from recycled waste paper and virgin pulp, the fact is that the manufacturing of the tissue papers from virgin pulp releases 30% more GHG when recycled waste paper is used. Each year, Canada's logging industry degrades over a million acres of this climate-critical forest to satisfy U.S. demand for toilet paper. While Canada has a reputation as an environmental steward, in recent years, Canada ranked third globally in its rate of intact forest loss, with logging the leading driver of that loss. Almost 10 million trees can be saved if every household in America replaces just one package each of conventional paper towels, toilet paper, napkins and tissues with products made from recycled materials.

Various chemicals are also included in the manufacturing process, adding to toilet paper's negative environmental impact. The most critical of these toxins is chlorine and most conventional toilet paper is treated with chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach produces harmful toxins such as furans and dioxin, which accumulate in our bodies, forming a dangerous situation for our health.
