Top 5 Reason to Choose (RRF) Rapidly Renewable Fibre Tissue
1. RESPONSIBLY HARVESTED UNDER IDEAL GROWING CONDITIONS.
RRF is produced from trees with a significantly shorter life cycle allowing them to be economically harvested on 6-8 years, and replenished quickly. RRF based products are a steady and secure supply.
2. DELIVERING UNMATCHED STRENGTH AND SOFTNESS
Our unique virgin fibre combination delivers reliable tissue strength as well as “at home” softness due to the abundance of short fibres.
3. RAPID DISPERSIBILITY IN WATER
RRF tissue paper products disperse rapidly in water due to their highly absorptive properties, thereby making them suitable for most toilet systems.
4. NO NEED FOR OPTICAL BRIGHTENING AGENTS (OBA)
RRF paper products do not require the addition of OBA needed to conceal impurities remaining after the de-inking of recycled fibre.
5. REDUCED ENERGY FOOTPRINT VS RECYCLED PAPER
Use of virgin fibre avoids the extra energy footprint and toxic chemical contamination added during collection and re-processing of recycled waste paper.
