Tissues ( for example Kleenex) (Tissues are made from Recycling Paper (The…

- - - - Tissue Manufacturing companies (like Kleenex) can get their paper from these recycling facilities
      - Negative Environmental Impact: These facilities use electricity and Burn fossil fuels which contributes to climate change.
  - - - "It makes us rethink do we really want this type of tissue to be so close to our skins?" - SCPA
      - Therefore Tissue Papers Made from Recycling paper aren't that Hyegienic.
      - These problems can all be addressed and fix by the following solutions;
        
        We continue to use Virgin Pulp (even tho they take trees) we create Tree Farms, "nothing is more renewable than something you can grow back". At these tree farms, we plant many trees. We plant new trees yearly, while the older trees are harvested every 6 years. From this tissue paper will begin to come from a more renewable source, increasing sustainability.
        
        Younger Trees absorb more Carbon Dioxide effectively than older trees! (effectively contributing making the product Carbon Neutral)
        
        and with a straightforward production

        The Pulp goes through the Digesters

        We can also pressure many companies to also think of ways of using recycling paper to make the boxes (containers of the tissue paper) eco-friendly by using recycling paper to make those "said" boxes.
        
        We can also educate many consumers on the products and the materials and process that are required to happen. By doing so we can thus shift and change the perspective that these products have an impact and what we purchase affects this whole process/system. Kleenex does this by intergrating a text from the FSC saying "Paper from Responsible sources" ( you can check if you have any Kleenex Boxes they're labelled under the box.

        There is one more solution that may is most likely far- fetched but : We Could get rid of Toilet Paper entirely, and find alternative ways of washing ourselves after excreting feces.
        
        it doesn't seem that far-fetch to me in my opinion because many people who lived in the Philippines (live in poverty ) and therefore don't have the privilege of having a roll of tissue paper and rather, they either use leaves, or a bucket of water
        
        "virgin fiber is currently used because it provides the superior softness consumers expect from Kleenex® Tissue. " It creates softer and more durable paper with higher absorbency rates!
        
        It Can Save Costs and The Planet Because guests use less when products are of high quality.
        
        It is more hygienic than recycled paper mills because there are no Bacteria Harbouring starches for germs to cling to
        
        Virgin Paper production generates the required energy from burning waste wood rather than via electricity or fossil fuels like recycling mills

        When companies produce Virgin Pulp, Fiber, Paper with these solutions, they extend the time they ahve to research into alternative fibers whilst giving many the quality products consumers require.

        Retrieved from:https://www.kleenex.com/en-ca/faq#
- - - - PRESSING: Once the pulp is ready, it is poured over fast moving belts (these can be 2-6 metres wide) made from highly porous materials that are driven on huge drums heated by steam. The pouring of pulp has to be even and consistent across the width of the belt/drum. All the water escapes through the pores leaving just the fibres on the belt in the form of a delicate fabric.
        The tissue is transferred on to a massive heated roller called a Yankee. The Yankee roller is very hot and the fabric is dried almost instantly. The tissue paper is then transferred to a core to form a jumbo roll. You can adjust the draw speed of the jumbo roll to get a thicker or thinner tissue. The jumbo rolls are put onto the converting machine.
        
        CONVERTING JUMBO ROLLS TO PAPER ROLLS:
        When making multi ply toilet tissue, the plies of tissue are usually split and each ply is passed through a different embossing roller. Embossing softens the toilet tissue and creates a decorative pattern. The tissue plies are brought back together then held together with glue or pressure embossing, the tissue is then perforated by blade, (this enables the sheets to be easily pulled apart). The tissue is then wound around a cardboard tube to create a long toilet roll the length of 23 to 25 individual toilet rolls, which are called logs.
        
        The logs have a line of glue applied to hold the end of the tissue closed. Many different roll sizes and sheet counts are produced on the winding machines. The logs are stored in an accumulator ready to be cut to length.
        
        The log is fed into a saw and cut by a large rotating blade into individual rolls that you have at home today. The rolls are then conveyed to wrapping machines then stacked onto pallets ready for sale.(https://www.cottonsoft.co.nz/our-community/kids-tissue-paper.html)
