Kimberly-Clark Launches Recycled Products - Reuters
“The launch this month of Scott Naturals makes Kimberly-Clark the first major paper products maker to have a full line that taps into the growing market for environmentally friendly products…Charmin and Bounty maker Procter & Gamble Co does not make recycled paper products, and a spokesman would not comment on any future plans. Georgia-Pacific, whose brands include Quilted Northern, does not have a full line of products marketed as containing recycled fibers, but does have recycled fibers in some of its products, a spokeswoman said…The Scott Naturals toilet paper has 40 percent recycled fiber, while the paper towels have 60 percent and the napkins, 80 percent…The cost of the napkins and paper towels is in line with Scott’s traditional products, while the toilet paper costs 6 percent more because it is more expensive to manufacture.”
