What’s BRIGHTER than white?  Making a planet friendly paper choice!

We won’t whitewash this fact – any tissue made from Recycled Fibre (RF) is NEVER going to be as white as a roll made from new or Virgin Fibre (VF).

What’s good to know is, we make our Green Choice range as bright as possible, with a sulphite-based bleaching agent (not chlorine or chlorine-dioxide) that is less harmful to the environment.

Our Green Choice toilet paper is soft, strong and as bright as our nearest competitor, it’s also 10% thicker than comparable Virgin Fibre 1 Ply toilet paper.

Biggest Recycled fibre brand

Twinsaver is the largest tissue manufacturer and user of recycled paper fibre in South Africa, fibre that’s used in our 100% Green Choice range.

Job creation

All material used in our Recycled Fibre tissue is sourced from info‌rmal recycling collectors, providing sustainable incomes to communities in need while extending the lifespan of landfills.

Water-wise and energy efficiency

We’re working to reduce our impact o‌n the environment at every stage of our operations, our initiatives have produced a 5% reduction in the use of energy in all manufacturing sites and over 60% of total water usage through boreholes.

Responsible waste management

The sludge by-product of our Recycled Fibre paper manufacture process is used to make bricks which are used in a range of community upliftment and infrastructure projects.

Recyclable packaging

We use recyclable poly packaging across the Twinsaver Green Choice range to integrate our product usage with our clients’ recycling initiatives.

• Recycled Fibre vs. Virgin Fibre

Any tissue made from Recycled Fibre (RF) is NEVER going to be as soft or white as a roll made from Virgin Fibre (VF) derived from new-cut forestry wood.

This is because the longer fibres in virgin wood are easier to lay out and fluff up for a softer tissue, and the whiteness is created by extensive use of harmful chlorine-based bleaches.

But, we do make our recycled paper as bright as possible, our Green Choice toilet tissue is softer, stronger, and as bright as our RF nearest competitor while 10% thicker than comparable VF product.

• The paper manufacture process

As South Africa largest paper tissue supplier we know that our manufacturing operations are resource and energy intensive.

We are trying to change all this.

We’re working to reduce our impact on the environment at every stage of our operations, reducing our water dependence and energy efficiencies, minimising our footprint in terms of waste-management from landfill to waste-water quality, while still delivering the quality you expect from the most trusted toilet paper brand in the country.

Making Green Choice your smart choice of products allows us to make further strides towards realising these goals.
