Packaging plays an important role in maintaining product quality and providing information. We are reducing the amount of materials needed to adequately package our products in several ways.

For example, 98 percent of all Kleenex tissue cartons sold in North America are made from 100 percent recycled fiber. Kleenex tissue cartons are fully recyclable, even with the poly insert still attached, and are accepted at recycling facilities across the country.

We use lighter plastics in our packaging where possible and are working with some of our customers to expand this practice. In line with Wal-Mart requirements, we aim to reduce our packaging by five percent by 2013. Our Personal Care business is almost half way to meeting this goal.
