Kleenex, one of the most popular brands of tissue products in the world, contributes to the destruction of ancient forests. Its manufacturer, the Kimberly-Clark corporation, has been unwilling to improve its practices, continuing to rely on paper and pulp made from clearcut ancient forest including Canada’s Boreal forest.
Since 2003 Greenpeace and its allies, including activists like you, have been asking Kimberly-Clark to:
- Immediately stop purchasing virgin fibre from endangered forests
- Drastically increase the amount of recycled fibre that it uses for all its tissue products including Kleenex brand toilet paper, facial tissue and napkins
- Only buy virgin fibre from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) eco-certified forests. The FSC is the only guarantee that forests are managed sustainably.
