Georgia Pacific Green by Design

Georgia Pacific is committed to delivering products that make a difference for the planet and its customers. Supporting the U.S. Environment Protection Agency, GP is leading the industry in reducing, reusing, and recycling for a healthier environment. Products we are using:

• GP MAX 2000 Unbleached Roll Towel
• Enmotion Unbleached Roll Towel
• GP Compact Coreless 2-ply Bath Tissue
• Angel Soft Toilet Paper
• BP Brawny Unbleached Industrial Towel

All Products are post consumer based and EPA compliant. To be EPA compliant you must have a minimum of 40% recycled content on roll towels and 20% recycled content on bath tissue. Post consumer fiber is recovered fiber that has been successfully used by a consumer for its intended purpose, has been successfully recovered through a waste collection or recycling program, and is once again being utilized as material used in making a new product. ‘Recycled fiber content’ means those materials and by-products that have been recovered by the manufacturer and have never been in the hands of the consumer.

We will continue to research products that are 100% recycled and could require a change in our current dispensing systems which are not reusable.
