How do you reinvent paper? The answer is as sweet as it is smart. Soft absorbent affordable septic safe whitened with a natural alternative to bleach. Each year over 900 million trees are harvested for paper alone, in fact, the united states annual pulp paper goods consumption exceeds 110,000,000 tons per year, consuming 1 billion trees annually, an area of approximately 12,400 square miles; while the u.s. Demand for paper is increasing each year. The paper industry's answer to tree free paper has been focused on recycled waste paper as a tree free alternative even though the vast majority of recycled waste paper originally started its life cycle from tree grown pulp, and more important, most of the recycled paper products combine fresh new trees in the production process. That doesn't help save trees, right? Green paper is 100 percent tree free and is made from sugar cane and quick growing grass. Green2 paper is treeless and is made from sugar cane and quick growing grass. No trees were harmed while making these products. The very best of this generation for generations to come.

Great value! Quality similar to Northern Quilt tissue cubes!
I was initially a bit skeptical about this treeless tissue paper, but after using it frequently for awhile now, find myself very satisfied with its quality, size and value!The texture is very similar to that of Northern Quilt cubes, maybe just a tiny but rougher, and there is no smell at all. The sheets seem a very slight bit smaller in size than Northern Quilts, but it doesn't affect the functionality of the tissue.Love that the tissue is sourced from bamboo instead of trees, but would definitely like to know more about other environmental factors of the raw material extraction and manufacturing process of this tissue, such as the chemical process used to convert bamboo into tissue. How much ecotoxicity is involved? What sort of waste effluents are generated and how are they disposed of? What is the energy and water comsumption of these processes as compared to that of manufacturing regular tissue?Overall, satisfied with the quality and value of this product, but would really like to know how it justifies its environmental claims.

Love these well made tissues
I have been using this brand and type for almost a year now and I love the flat boxes as well as the tissues inside. They are 2 ply and hold up well but are a little thinner/rougher than the top of the line name brands. The everyday versions of the name brands is equal to these tissues. Just knowing I'm using a more sustainable resource tips the tide on this brand.

Too small and weak to be called a “tissue”.
I always look for environmentally responsible products made by ethical companies. I’ve used Seventh Gen and Marcal, and I just wanted to see if I’d like this one, but the tissues are way too small in size and too thin to be used for even the smallest sneeze or blot even one tear! It immediately saturates and falls apart. I now automatically pull out 2 or even 3 tissues at a time, which still makes for an inferior tissue! I can’t think of any use for this tissue!

Favorite tree free tissues!
These are not super thick or super soft. Think tissues you'd use at a hotel, the hospital, an office setting. They work great for us though. No breaking, or leaking. We've reordered this brand several times and are extremely happy with them. And we like that they are made with a more earth friendly bamboo.

Green tissue, green conscience
I read the other reviews, and I don't agree with the complaints. I find these soft and absorptive. I have not used them yet in the middle of a full-blown cold, when I sometimes ignore ecology and economy to buy the super-soft tissues with aloe for my red, excoriated nose. However, for my every day use, these are plenty soft. I'm a delicate sort with lots of allergies, so I consider myself a good test subject for tissues. I'm glad I stocked up with the 30-box case.

These are a great deal
It is so nice to have a constant supply of very nice tissues. The boxes are attractive enough to spread around the house and they certainly come at a great price.

Love these
I love these tissues. When are they coming back? I’ve been using some, second-rate, recycled brand, and miss these, terribly. Please sell them on Amazon, again :)

Needs improvement
I love the idea of using bamboo and sugar cane to make this facial tissue. It was a soft tissue. But the box they are in is not very environmentally friendly. The outside has a coating on it that reminds me of a UV gloss coating or other heavy duty gloss coating. Water will actually run off of it. So the box is somewhat waterproof. I cannot find anything about the container being from recycled paper, etc. So it kind of cancels out the environmentally friendly tissue part for me. Also these tissues are smaller than normal facial tissues. A Puffs tissue measures 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" and the Green2 facial tissue measures 7 3/4" x 7 1/2". I have allergies and go through tissues like crazy and I do not like this smaller tissue. It does make a difference. I will pursue other manufacturers of the bamboo and sugar cane facial tissue that hopefully have larger tissues and more environmentally friendly boxes.
