When sustainability matters — every choice makes a difference

That’s why Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong® toilet paper combines the premium quality you trust with a commitment to the environment. By examining our product lifecycle, we’ve identified several impactful ways to make a real difference.

Promoting healthy forests and habitats

When it comes to caring for our environment, we’re on a mission to make a difference. That’s why we plant 2 trees for every 1 used. From 2020— 2024, we’ve planted over 7 million trees through our partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation®.

We use responsibly sourced trees

The trees used to create Quilted Northern ® toilet paper products only come from well- managed FSC® certified forests and other responsible sources.

Implementing ecominded manufacturing

Did you know that over 90%* of bath tissue’s environmental impact occurs in the manufacturing process? That’s why we decided to highlight one of the key parts of our manufacturing process that make it sustainable. Our proprietary, efficient manufacturing technology squeezes out more water from the paper before drying. This saves 30% more water and uses 30% less energy**.

*Environmental impact measured as greenhouse gas emissions in kg Co2e per functional unit for the paper manufacturing process, including pulping, tissue making and converting. Based on cradle-to-gate Tissue Life Cycle Assessment conducted by Georgia-Pacific 2017
**vs. other premium 2-ply national brands in the drying process on a per-sheet basis
