At SCA, we know it takes more than just recycling to make
a difference. Which is why, when we produce our towel, tissue and napkin
products, we do everything we can to conserve our natural resources.
We begin by using 100% recycled materials in nearly all our products.
We do not use any elemental or process chlorine in the bleaching process.
And we take measures to conserve water, prevent pollution, save landfill
