We offer both pure and recycled tissue ensuring all our tissue is of a very high standard and is sourced from tissue manufacturers who are registered with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). We use the latest production methods producing a high quality finish to the end of the rolls and we edge emboss our products which bonds the ply’s together ensuring the product remains intact when used.

The recycled tissue paper grades we use to manufacture our recycled paper products are made from 100% recovered waste paper material. The recovered waste material is a mixture of institutional (i.e. used books) and administrative waste papers collected from post-consumer sources. Being made from 100% cellulose fiber, it is biodegradable and recyclable. The recycling process is Element Chlorine Free (ECF), with Absorbable Organic Halogenated compound (AOX) emissions from the production process below 0.25kg per ADT.

The Sirius ecoroll range offers a wide range of products made from soft quality, 100% premium recycled paper. This eco-friendly range has been developed to combine advanced technology and premium sustainable material to create the perfect solution for environmentally conscious customers.
