Making the invisible visible

Did you know that KLEENEX, one of the biggest facial tissue manufacturers, uses 100% virgin wood fibre that contains no recyled fibre?

Did you know that Tree-Free paper can provide an alternative to either recycled or virgin paper wood?

The materials that can produce
organic Tree-Free paper tissue are: kenaf, hemp, bamboo, sugar cane, cotton ( from rags or rolls), agricultural residues (such as coffee, banana, rice, wheat, corn, and rye).Dimensione carattere


My project is based on ecological narratives, images and actions.
My aim is to be informed about the issues surrounding paper waste and the process of making a tissue.
Three weeks ago I did not know that we can make tissue-paper in a different way without using wood fibre - neither did any of the people that I have asked.
I decided to take political action and try to learn about environmental issues and then share this information with the people next to me because I believe that without information and knowledge it is difficult to change people’s attitudes and behaviors.
