Tork Natural tissue papers are testament to the development of recycled materials

Recycled materials have taken great leaps forward in the last decade. It is clear that corporate responsibility, sustainable values, and actions are important to consumers, which is also visible in the increased quality and use rate of recycled materials.

At Tork, sustainable solutions and impeccable hygiene go hand in hand. Sustainability principles state that Tork is taking a stand. The new Tork Natural tissue papers are a clear statement on behalf of sustainable development.

The Tork Natural tissue papers are completely made of recycled fibers – and a new recycled fiber source is behind the natural color of the products. Around 30–50% of the manufacturing material comes from recycled cardboard packaging, such as transport boxes while the rest of the fibers come from more traditional sources such as office paper. Nowadays, recycled material is no longer a synonym for weak quality or roughness – on the contrary, Tork Natural tissue papers are as soft and durable as all the other Tork Advanced products.

The Tork Natural tissue papers also have the EU Ecolabel and Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certifications, which means that the paper has been sustainably manufactured from fibers retrieved from responsibly managed forests and other monitored sources. In addition to the sustainably produced raw material, the hand towels can be recycled into new products through the Tork PaperCircle® service.

“These days, sustainability and quality go hand in hand. Both of these aspects are important to customers, and we at Tork want to do our part in driving the hygiene industry towards more environmentally friendly solutions. With the help of our Tork Natural products, our clients can now also communicate about their environmental values to their own customers,” says Laura Larkas, Customer Marketing Activation Manager at Tork.

As shown by the survey conducted by Essity up to 83% of restaurant customers think that hand towels made completely out of recycled materials are a good testament to the company’s environmental values, and 87% thought that recycling single-use products into hand towels is a good thing. In the office sector, 85% of the respondents said that they are fine with natural-colored toilet paper as long as the quality remains on the same level as what they are used to.

Tork wants to offer its clients and end-users as environmentally friendly products as possible without compromising on hygiene. For this reason, Tork has used life-cycle assessments in their sustainability operations for more than three decades already. The results yielded from the assessments have been used in the development of new innovations, of which the Tork Natural tissue papers are an excellent example of.

When assessing a product’s sustainability, it is important to account for the product’s entire lifecycle all the way from raw material to manufacturing, end-customer use, and after-use management. That is why Tork packaging as well as many of the products are completely recyclable.

“We strongly believe that as a company committed to circular economy, it is our duty to use as much of the resources already in circulation as possible. That is why we use raw material recycled from paper and cardboard waste in our tissue manufacturing,” Larkas says.

Sustainable development choices can be visible throughout a company’s operations, including sanitary spaces. Tork Natural tissue papers are not only an indication of the company’s values but also an example of the future where recycled materials are the rule rather than the exception.

Around the world, production animals are heavily medicated with antibiotics – this is a big part of the problem, as excessive use of antibiotics accelerates the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria

According to the World Health Organization, antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest global health threats. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can spread from other people, animals, various medical institutions, trips abroad and food.

In many countries, antibiotics are routinely fed to farm animals to promote growth and prevent illness. At worst, they even compensate for poor living conditions, such as hygiene and health problems caused by overcrowded premises.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are constantly found in foreign – even European – production animals and food.

Favor Finnish meat

In Finland, production animals are never given antibiotics just in case. Therefore, the risks of antibiotic residues are significantly lower in domestic meat than in meat produced abroad. Finland is one of the model countries for the use of antibiotics, and Atria is a trendsetter in antibiotic-free food production.

Atria's 100% Finnish meat is always a safe choice also in restaurants. By the way, did you know that no Atria chicken farm has needed a single course of antibiotics since 2009?

Invest in high quality

Finnish consumers are used to clean and high-quality, domestic food. However, high-quality meat does not come about by chance, but requires hard work.

When animals are taken care of and antibiotics are used moderately or not at all, the likelihood of superbugs arising and spreading is low. A healthy animal does not need antibiotics.

In addition to completely antibiotic-free chicken production, already 30 per cent of all pork produced at Atria is antibiotic-free. Our goal is for all pig farms to be involved in antibiotic-free production by 2025. We also strive for antibiotic-free treatment in our beef production

We invest especially in the transparency of our production chains and are proud of our pioneering position!

Atria Chicken Thigh Clip Thai Basil Lemongrass 3kg/n130g

Herbs frozen fresh bring a clear and fresh world of flavors. With a pre-seasoned product, you can easily and quickly get oriental flavor in many different dishes. For example, try different woks and stews!

The Antibiotic-free label on the packaging indicates that the animals have not needed a single course of antibiotics during their lives. The carbon footprint is indicated on the packaging in kg CO2e / kg. In addition to chicken, the product's carbon footprint takes into account the packaging materials, any other raw materials, and emissions caused by the manufacture of the product

Ingredients: chicken thigh meat (86%), water, spices (Thai basil, lemongrass, ginger, cardamom, muscovy flower, turmeric, cumin, chili, paprika, fenugreek, curry), salt, potato and cassava starch, preservative E 262, lemon juice. Order unit: 3 kg[Wrap item]Country of origin: Finland

Mundo coffees are one of the flagships of Paulig products in terms of responsibility. Now the Fair Trade and Organic certified product family is also completely carbon neutral. The flavors are the familiar Mundo Original and the new, two-origin coffee Mundo Colombia & Honduras.

Paulig Mundo Colombia and Honduras

Characteristically roasted and nutty coffee from high-quality Colombian and Honduran arabica beans. You can find sweetness from the maple syrup in the flavor. A dark roasted coffee that works especially well with oat milk.

Roast level: 4

450 g filter coffee, 450 g beans and 100 g and 300 g portion bags.

Paulig Mundo

Paulig Mundo is a Fair Trade organic coffee blend. It is roasted from responsibly and organically grown Arabica coffee beans. Its gently roasted taste has hints of dark sugar and honey.

Roast level: 3

500 g filter coffee, 500 g beans and 100 g and 300 g portion bags.

The packaging of the Mundo product family is made from material that is more than 50 percent plant-based and renewable raw materials.

The entire life cycle of the coffee is included in the calculations

The emission calculations for Mundo coffees take into account climate effects, from cultivation to coffee making and packaging waste management. The current total emissions of coffee are offset through Climate Impact Partners, a partner specializing in climate finance, by supporting forest projects in the countries of origin of coffee that have been verified according to international standards (Verified Carbon Standard and The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard), for example in Colombia and Brazil.

The coffee roaster in Vuosaari operates completely carbon neutral. As proof of that, the roastery received the CarbonNeutral® Building certificate, which tells about carbon neutrality.
