Kleenex & The Environment

There's a few things you might like to know about Kleenex when it comes to the environment, so here are some facts about our products:

OUR BOXES: These are at least 95% recycled, most of them are actually 100%! Our distribution packaging is recycled too and can be recycled after you use it.

OUR TISSUES: These are made from natural fibres which are biodegradable. And more importantly, our tissues are FSC certified*. Read the piece under FSC to understand exactly what this means.

OUR COMMITMENT: We're continuing to focus on the environment and what we can do to help so we'll keep you up to date with any news!

FSC: By buying FSC certified Kleenex® tissues you are helping to protect the world's forests. How? FSC stands for the Forestry Stewardship Council, it ensures that forests all over the world are managed responsibly, considering the environment, the wildlife and the local people who live and work in the area.

WWF: We're also members of the WWF-UK Forest & Trade network. This body commits to implementing a responsible purchasing policy for forest products.
