Project at a Glance

Contents on the CD Rom

• Tissue paper is a lightweight paper or, light crêpe paper. Tissue can be made both from virgin and recycled paper pulp.
• Tissue paper is used to make a huge range of products with different properties and quality demands.
• Key properties are: strength, absorbency, basis weight, thickness (bulk), brightness, stretch, appearance and comfort.
• The paper tissue industry, along with the rest of the paper manufacturing sector, has worked hard to minimise its impact on the environment.
• Recovered fibres now represent some 46.5% of the paper industry’s raw materials.
• The industry relies heavily on biofuels (about 50% of its primary energy) and it is highly energy- efficient.
• Its specific primary energy consumption has decreased by 16% and the specific electricity consumption has decreased by 11%, due to measures such as improved process technology and investment in combined heat and power (CHP).
• Specific carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels decreased by 25% due to process-related measures and the increased use of low-carbon and biomass fuels.
• Once consumed, most forest-based paper products start a new life as recycled material or biofuel.
• The standard size of a sheet of toilet paper is 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches. Starting in the late 1990s, some companies began making sheets that were a little smaller, typically around 4 inches by 4 inches.
• Nearly 6 million tons of toilet paper are produced every year in the United States. This includes all types of toilet tissues and paper products such as paper napkins and facial tissues.
• The leading manufacturer of toilet paper is Proctor & Gamble, followed by Kimberly Clark. Other top manufacturers include Georgia Pacific, Marcal and Fort James.
• There are 333 toilet paper squares on an average toilet paper roll.
