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 bathroom tissue.

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: Softness is important. We’ve upgraded our embossing process to obtain a significantly softer feel. We keep our product simple by never adding any dyes or fragrances during the paper-making process.

FOR YOUR HOME: This bathroom tissue is safe for septic systems and low-flow toilets.

FOR YOUR PLANET: The roll cores in Seventh Generation Bath Tissue are made from 100% recycled paper and are ready to be recycled again. The packaging is made from a minimum of 51% post-industrial recycled plastic.
