Marcal Manufacturing, LLC, Elmwood Park, NJ, a producer of household paper goods made from 100% recycled paper, has introduced new packaging that highlights environmental facts critical to its products' manufacturing process. A nutrition facts-style Environmental Facts box now gets front-panel placement on every Marcal® Small Steps® package of bath tissue, facial tissue, and napkins. The box details product information like recycled paper content (100%), how much chlorine bleach is used for whitening (0%), and use of chemical-based additives like fragrances and dyes (0%).
The refreshed packaging has completed a nationwide rollout to grocery, drug, convenience, and other major retail outlets. Marcal relates that its panel is a first for the U.S. household paper goods category.
