Ecotisú is a product of the circular economy
Here at Isma 2000 we have committed to the circular economy. We extract 100% of our raw materials from the “Urban Forest”, that is, we use the paper and cardboard that we all throw away in the city’s blue bins to manufacture our paper and cardboard products. This allows us to generate 30 thousand tons of paper annually without felling a single tree.
Not only are our products recycled, they’re also organic. We have adopted all our processes, so they provide greatest possible energy efficiency, and we use water purification equipment that allows us to reuse it, considerably reducing consumption of this essential natural resource. This way, we can make sure our products have less of an environmental impact compared to any other in the same category.
Raw materials
This is where our circular economy process starts: paper and cardboard that has already been used. Drinks containers, sheets, boxes, magazines thrown out in school, the office or at home. Thanks to this, we don’t need to fell a single tree to manufacture paper. Our “forest” is made up of people and companies committed to separating their waste.
Selective collection
We extract the best raw material for our products at our waste management and transport plant in Mallorca. There we classify and select all the waste we collect from bring centres across the city to be able to give them a second life.
Processing
In this step we mix the classified clean paper and cardboard with water so that it dissolves and is converted into cellulose paste which we use to manufacture new paper.
Coils
In this stage of the processing, we obtain large coils of 100% eco-recycled tissue that is soft, resistant and absorbent.
Converting
In this phase, the coils are converted into our finished products, Will that be toilet paper? Will it be kitchen roll? Maybe serviettes? Each one will follow its path. The important thing is that everything is made from recovered materials. And so we close our circular economy process!
