Kimberly-Clark, the largest global tissue producer, which manufactures more than 4 million tons of tissues annually, had formerly used virgin fibers from Canadian boreal forests to produce the single-use tissue materials.
The Daily Green details Kimberly-Clark's greener mission.
Specifically, by the end of 2011, Kimberly-Clark will stop using any forest products derived from the Canadian boreal unless that wood is Forest Stewardship Council certified, and the company will ensure that 40% of its North American tissue fiber is either recycled or Forest Stewardship Council-certified, an increase of more than 70% over 2007 levels.

Yea! Finally, a corporation steps up and does the right thing. If you can sell hemp string, clothes, etc. in the U.S. now, why can't you sell hemp toilet paper now?

Hankies are the way to go. Why have they gone out of style in North America? We expend all that energy to walk to a dustbin and throw single use napkins away ALL THE TIME but we're to icked out to use a hanky?

I guess it's not greenwashing if you plan to do it at a later date. Greenwaiting maybe? It shouldn't hurt them to wait for our money then.

I havent used Kleenex, Scott or Cottonelle products for years because they dont recycle, looks like it will be a few more years.

Cool. Made me think of this article. I wonder if we'll ever stop using toilet tissue someday... if there will be an alternative.

There is, it's called a bidet, and is used by basically everyone that has access to a toilet outside of this country.

Yes, perhaps I should have been more specific and made this comment regarding the United States. The Bidet is not something I have certainly not seen around here.
