The EcoSoft® Green Seal ® line is produced under Green Seal ’s standards for paper towel and tissue products. Certification criteria include 100% recycled paper with minimum post-consumer wastepaper content, de-inking and bleaching processes free of chlorine and other harmful chemicals, and environmentally preferable packaging. To achieve and maintain the Green Seal certification, the EcoSoftÔ Green Seal ® products are subjected to rigorous evaluation and testing, along with a quality-control audit of the papermaking processes at the mill in Middletown, OH. The Wausau firm is based in Mosinee, WI, with towel and tissue converting and distribution operations in Harrodsburg, KY.
The company recommends using hardwound roll towels with a controlled-use dispenser rather than individual paper towels to control use and prevent waste.

The new Revolution™ 3-Roll dispensing system and the new Dubl-Serv® 2-Roll Side-by-Side dispensing system accommodate the new OptiCore™ tissue technology.
