safe in receivership & then sold - 04:22 PM
(filed under 'green living')
since i'll very soon be a site distributor (buying the products & keeping the profits instead of working at an hourly rate) for nana may's, i've been buying the main consumable item that i need to demonstrate & sell the product: paper towels.
i like to be as green as possible, so when i finally came across the brand of paper towels, 'safe', the same as the brand of toilet paper that i always buy, i was very happy. it was the first time i'd seen their paper towels.
out of interest (mainly because the paper towels don't perform anywhere near as well as viva, which seem to be the best ones on the market from a performance point of view) i began to look up the website.
it's a real bummer, because it seems that merino, the people who made 'safe' toilet tissue, paper towels, paper bags, etc, from recycled paper, have gone into receivership & have been sold to a company called encore tissues.
i looked up their website & they only have a placeholder so far for a new brand of toilet paper. i really hope they keep up with the recycled products, because i'm keen on staying as green as possible.
i could always use some small washable cloths, but every person who tried the product would need a clean one & i'm not sure that doing that much washing every week would be any more environmentally friendly than using paper towels made from recycled paper.
