Forest

Caring for Our Forests

Cottonelle® products are made of material from well-managed, FSC®-certified forests and FSC® controlled wood materials. While FSC controlled wood doesn’t come from FSC-certified forests, it mitigates the risk of material originating from unacceptable sources.

By supporting responsible forest management, we can lessen the acceleration of climate change while also conserving critical, rich, terrestrial biodiversity and supporting forest-dependent communities around the world.

Plastic

Reducing Our Use of Plastic

Kimberly-Clark, the makers of Cottonelle toilet paper, works to improve our material efficiency, develop innovative alternatives to fossil-fuel based plastics, and support circular material flows and other end-of-life solutions.

Each year Kimberly-Clark works to reduce our use of new, fossil-fuel based plastics, diverted manufacturing waste from landfill to beneficial uses, and make more of our current recovered, recyclable, compostable, and or biodegradable packaging.
