As concerns about environmental issues continue to grow, many people are becoming more aware of the materials they use in their daily lives. One area in particular is household paper products , such as facial tissue,napkin,kitchen towel,toilet tissue and hand towel,etc.
There are two main raw materials used to produce these products: virgin wood pulp and recycled pulp. Many people want to know which is the better choice. In this article, we explore the advantages of using virgin wood pulp and examine the trends in its use on parent roll
First, let’s compare virgin and recycled wood pulp. Virgin wood pulp is made directly from trees, while recycled pulp is made from used paper that is then processed into pulp. Recycled pulp is often seen as the more environmentally friendly choice because it saves the use of trees and reduces waste. However, there are some significant differences between these two materials. One of the main difference is of using virgin wood pulp to produce household paper can be higher quality of the final product. Virgin wood pulp are longer and stronger, so the paper made is softer, more absorbent and stronger than paper made from recycled pulp. This difference is particularly noticeable in products such as toilet paper, where softness and strength are important considerations. Another advantage of using virgin wood pulp is that it is more hygienic. The recycling process used to produce recycled pulp can leave residual contaminants and traces of inks and chemicals. This makes recycled pulp less suitable for use in products such as facial tissue or toilet tissue for sensitive areas of the body. So the trend toward is using virgin wood pulp as material for mother rolls that used to converting household paper. According to industry sources, the use of virgin pulp has increased in recent years. While the demand of recycled paper is decrease. Now in China the recycled paper mill have become less and less, it will replaced by virgin wood pulp gradually.
