European Ecolabel status achieved
June 1st 2011 Kimberly-Clark Professional
has earned European Ecolabel
status for 60 towel and tissue
products, including Scott and
Kleenex branded lines, and two
of its Kleenex hand cleansers.
To achieve Ecolabel status,
Kimberly-Clark had to show how
it had:
Eliminated chlorine bleach
from its manufacturing
processes
Caused less than 40kg of
organic water pollution per
tonne of tissue produced
Generated less than 3,750kg
of CO2 from fossil fuels per
tonne of tissue produced
Consumed less than 3,000
kWh of electricity per tonne of
tissue produced.
To enhance the environmental
credentials of the Kleenex soaps,
the company reformulated them
so that they now contain a
preservative system in line with
the ecological criteria defined
under the Ecolabel scheme.
Besides the new formulations,
both soaps also contain no
added dyes or fragrances.The
products were previously sold
under the Kimcare brand. More articles from Kimberly-Clark Europe Ltd: |
