As an indispensable hygiene product in our daily life, the quality and choice of material have a direct impact on our quality of life. In the tissue market, virgin wood pulp, wood pulp and bamboo pulp are the three most common materials. So, what's the difference between these three materials? This article will make a detailed analysis from the material characteristics, production process, environmental performance and use experience of paper towels.
First, let's take a look at the basic concepts of virgin wood pulp, wood pulp, and bamboo pulp. Virgin wood pulp refers to pulp made directly from wood and is often used to make high-grade paper towels. Whereas, wood pulp is a pulp made from wood that has been chemically or mechanically treated, and the quality is slightly inferior to that of virgin wood pulp. Bamboo pulp is a pulp made from bamboo, which is gradually favored by consumers because of its environmental performance and fiber structure characteristics.
In terms of production process, the production process of virgin wood pulp is relatively simple, maintaining the natural fiber structure of the wood, so the paper is soft and absorbent. Some chemicals may be added to the production process of wood pulp to improve the performance of the paper, but this may also lead to certain chemical residues in the paper towel.
From the perspective of environmental performance, the production of virgin wood pulp and wood pulp requires a large amount of wood resources, and the growth cycle of wood is long, and excessive cutting will cause damage to the ecological environment. In contrast, bamboo has a short growth cycle, strong reproductive ability, and does not require a lot of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so bamboo pulp has better environmental performance.
In terms of user experience, virgin wood pulp paper towels are soft and absorbent, giving people a feeling of high quality. The water absorption of wood pulp paper towels is slightly inferior to that of virgin wood pulp, but it is relatively more accessible to the people. Because of its unique fiber structure, bamboo pulp paper towels have strong water absorption and antibacterial properties, and moderate friction, which is not easy to cause allergies.
In summary, virgin wood pulp, wood pulp, and bamboo pulp have their own advantages and disadvantages in tissue production. Virgin wood pulp paper towels have high quality and strong water absorption, but they are high and have relatively poor environmental performance; Wood pulp paper towels** are moderate, but may contain some chemical residues; Bamboo pulp paper towels have good environmental performance, strong water absorption and antibacterial properties, and are relatively low. Therefore, when choosing paper towels, consumers should consider comprehensively according to their own needs and budget, and choose the right tissue products for themselves.
Our Little Red Riding Hood brand paper towel is made of high-quality virgin wood pulp, which is not only soft and thick but also very environmentally friendly and healthy.
