Wausau Paper introduces new towel and tissue line

Aug 17, 2007. /Lesprom Network/. Wausau Paper announced on August 16, 2007 the expansion of its Green Seal® -certified product offering by introducing the new Dubl-Nature® towel and tissue line. The Dubl-Nature® Green Seal® -certified towel and tissue line offers exceptional quality and a sophisticated appearance for the "away-from-home" market. Made from a superior grade of 100% recycled wastepaper, Dubl-Nature® products offer outstanding brightness and absorbency, are processed chlorine free, and meet or exceed United States Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for post-consumer waste. A premium consumer-like embossing pattern and environmentally preferable packaging make Dubl-Nature® products ideal for Class A office buildings, luxury hotels, green buildings, green hotels, and colleges and universities. "Through our new Dubl-Nature® line we offer our customers the highest quality Green Seal® -certified products available," stated Thomas J. Howatt, Wausau Paper president and chief executive officer. "Our towel & tissue business consistently demonstrates its ability to innovatively respond to opportunities and add depth to our environmentally preferable offering for the away-from-home marketplace. Recognizing and meeting the needs of a growing number of customers specifying green products, in what otherwise is a highly commoditized sector, continues to set the course for growth by our towel & tissue business." Products available in the Dubl-Nature® line include roll and traditional folded towels, bath tissue, and the recently introduced OptiFold(TM) folded towels for the office buildings market. Combining Dubl-Nature® controlled roll towels with Wausau Paper's Bay West Silhouette® line of controlled-use dispensers can further reduce waste and improve total cost considerations for facilities managers. Wausau Paper offers a complete line of Bay West® brand towel, tissue, wiper, soap and dispensing systems for the "away-from-home" washroom market. The Bay West® product line includes EcoSoft(TM) and EcoSoft(TM) Green Seal® 100% recycled towels and tissue, DublSoft® premium towels and tissue, Dubl-Tough® industrial wipers, Silhouette® dispensers, and the Wave'n Dry® dispenser.
