May 22, 2013—Cascades Tissue Group has created what the company says is an industry-first unbleached, 100 percent recycled facial tissue for its Moka line of products, giving companies yet another “green” product to add to their workplace arsenal, and allergy and cold sufferers a reason to rejoice. This new beige-colored facial tissue follows the award-winning, January 2012 launch of the Cascades Moka bathroom tissue, which created a new category of bathroom tissue that quickly sold through its initial inventory and is now a growing category for the company, according to Cascades.
Just like its bathroom tissue predecessor, the new Cascades Moka facial tissue is made of a pulp mix composed of 100 percent recycled fiber, 80 percent of which is post-consumer material and 20 percent recovered corrugated boxes. Its production is also offset with 100 percent Green-e certified renewable wind electricity and releases a minimum of 30 percent less greenhouse gas than what is used in traditional white recycled tissues. Cascades Moka also holds certification with EcoLogo, Green Seal and the Chlorine Free Products Association.
Ultimately, it offers both regular consumers and commercial purchasers the highest hygienic qualities and softness while significantly reducing the environmental impact that is commonly associated with manufacturing a single-use product. A detailed life cycle analysis of the pulp mix of the Cascades Moka undertaken by the company revealed a 25 percent reduction in overall environmental impact when compared to the pulp mix used in its traditional Cascades’ 100 percent recycled fiber facial tissue, the company says.
