The Environmental Cost of Paper-Based Consumables
Paper-based washroom consumables, such as toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels, contribute significantly to deforestation and waste. Over 270,000 trees are cut down daily for global tissue production every year.
Manufacturing consumes vast amounts of water, energy, and chemicals, leading to high carbon emissions and pollution. Additionally, discarded paper towels generate millions of tonnes of landfill waste annually.
Emrana’s Sustainable Alternatives
At Emrana, we recognise the urgent need to transition away from unsustainable paper products. Our solutions help businesses reduce waste, lower costs, and meet sustainability targets with eco-conscious alternatives, including:
🌿 Bamboo-Based Consumables – Bamboo grows 30 times faster than traditional trees and requires no pesticides or fertilisers, making it a renewable and biodegradable option.
♻ Recycled Paper Products – Using post-consumer recycled materials cuts deforestation rates and reduces energy consumption by up to 50% compared to virgin paper.
🚮 Compostable Bin Liners – Made from plant-based materials, these break down naturally, minimising plastic waste in landfills.
💨 Energy-Efficient Hand Dryers – Reduces reliance on paper towels, saving up to 24,000 paper towels per dryer annually while using up to 80% less energy than older models.
