New! Right-Size Paper Towels
THE STORY OF RECYCLED PAPER
Each time you recycle a magazine, office paper or newspaper, it begins a second life. Once collected, the recycled paper is compacted into large bales and transported to the mill. At the mill, it is mixed with hot water and mechanically pulped to make a 'soup' where screens and filters are used to remove contaminants. The mix is washed to remove inks and then whitened to achieve a uniform color. Seventh Generation products are whitened without the use of chemicals containing chlorine that pollute the soil and water. After a final rinse, the pulp is pressed, dried and converted into a valuable product: Seventh Generation Paper Towels.
Recycling and buying recycled products made from recycled materials is one of the easiest ways to "close the loop" and make a difference. We also know that if the product doesn't meet your needs, you can't use it.
FOR YOU: Our new Right-Size sheets allow you to better match the towel with the job. We keep our product simple by never adding any dyes or fragrances during the paper-making process.
FOR YOUR HOME: Our paper towels are strong, absorbent and leave minimal lint to keep your surfaces clean and bright.
