Sustainability expectations across our industry continue to evolve rapidly. Customers are no longer asking only for environmental commitments, they are asking for evidence. That is why ISO 14067-verified Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) are becoming an essential part of responsible procurement.
At Northwood Hygiene Products, we have taken this step across our portfolio because transparency matters. As a vertically integrated UK manufacturer, leading the market in sustainable solutions and advancing the principles of the circular economy, we are in a unique position to measure, understand and reduce the carbon impact of our products from cradle to grave.
This gives our customers something increasingly rare in the market: credible, traceable and independently verified data they can rely on.
But the real value is not just the number on the page. It is what the number enables. PCF data helps customers to:
Our role is not just to supply hygiene products. It is to support our partners on their sustainability journey. Whether customers are just beginning to map emissions or are already progressing reduction plans, we provide the insight, data and collaboration needed to move forward with confidence.
Take our Raphael VersaTwin 2 ply recycled tissue as an example. Over the last 12 months, energy efficiency and sustainability improvements implemented by Northwood have reduced the product’s carbon footprint by 9%.
With further green investments planned, initiatives underway and continuous optimisation across our operations, we are continuing our journey towards net zero.
Verified carbon footprints are more than a compliance requirement. They are a tool for better decision-making, stronger partnerships and a more sustainable future for the paper hygiene industry.
If you would like to understand how PCF data can support your goals, we are always ready to help.
