According to the National Forestry Database,of trees in 2020. CTVNews.ca reached out to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to understand how it balances the need for wood and manages forests sustainably.
"Retaining old-growth trees to provide critical habitat for plants, wildlife and other organisms is a key principle of sustainable forest management. In many jurisdictions, harvesting guidelines call for a certain proportion of old-growth or veteran trees to be retained," the email read.The NRDC report looked at toilet paper brands on the market in July 2022. It took data from websites, product packaging and company communications to evaluate the ecological footprint of the products.
According to the government, Canada is committed to finding"sustainable" forest practices and decides each year which trees are harvested. Kruger Inc., a Montreal-based manufacturer told CTVNews.ca in an email that in 2011, it was the first Canadian tissue company to earn an FCS certification. The highest-scoring Canadian toilet paper brand for sustainability is Scott Essential Standard Roll, manufactured by Kimberly-Clark. The brand received a B+ for being 100 per cent recycled toilet paper, using 20 per cent post-consumer fibres and using no chlorine bleach in its product. But the brand lost points for not having a forestry certificate which ensures the pulp and fibre is from sustainable sources.
"Our current focus is to change our packaging," Kornelson said."We are working with our factory to not only replace our plastic wrapper with cardboard we are working to have the wrapper made from bamboo fibre as well as the cardboard tube and the shipping case as well." The lowest-scoring Canadian toilet paper brand was Great Value Ultra, sold by Walmart, which received an F.
The"Issue with Tissue" report says Great Value toilet paper uses non-recycled paper from Canada's boreal forest and is bleached using chlorine, and its manufacturers do not have a forest certificate. Other Canadian toilet paper brands found in stores scored low on the NRDC's ranking due to using the majority of pulp from virgin forests, bleach to whiten the paper and not having a forestry certificate.
I don’t use toilet 🚽 paper. I have a BIDET with candles 🕯
I'll get on the trail of this as soon as I can. I'm just working out why my giant Slurpee comes with a paper straw, placed into the Slurpee which is contained, for the consumer, me, you... In a giant plastic cup. Because everything makes sense right now. Right?
Why not grow Moss n use it for toilet paper n pads n diapers? Hypoallerganic, renewable; recyclable n resourceful. Where are the Environmental Companies? Save the Trees!
So what our pm likes little girls
Everything about this article is garbage. Old growth forests are the ones we want to harvest first, as they are at the end of their usefulness. Every tree that gets cut, 2-3 more are planted and toilet paper is a by-product. Nobody cuts down a tree for TP or any paper product
Worth it
CTV how many times are you going to show this? Why would you want to embarrass yourself even more with bullshit like this?
How bout the new disposable cutlery? And paper bags?
Good thing we still have a few cases of the Covid supply left
its 2023 ... shouldnt we be using HEMP paper by now ?
The boreal forest is disturbance drivin and not old growth. Canada practices sustainable forest practices. I can't believe that forest professionals let this crap go unchallenged or is your reporting as biased as the cbc.
Recycle ♻️ paper made in Canada
One ply builds character.
'At 0.02% of its forested area, deforestation in Canada is among the world’s lowest, yet many myths exist about the state of our forests. The reality is that Canada is a world leader in sustainable forest management. Canadian forests are healthy, productive and thriving.' 😏😏😏
My favourite TP is important canadian forest brand
May be? It is or it isn't Do you guys know anything?
Oh .. is that why it's a dollar per 'sheet'?
Yes let’s get it from the Amazon rain forest than
Humans need a better way to clean their asses.
Canada has decimated its forests. Even the fence line bushes were bulldozed by farmers. Birds have no cover. Shameful. I love Oz trees.
'Important forests' never felt so good!
I can’t keep up. Is this US non-profit advocacy group the same people who say our boreal forests are not climate positive carbon sinks, which overall make the country of Canada a net negative global contributor to the carbon emission scam?
Dang, why can’t they just use recycling paper?
CTV Pathetic Newscaster.! This Is OLD News.! Been going on for years & reported ages ago & what little outrage there was did absolutely ZER0.!
Of course it’s an important forest. It’s the Poo Ticket Forest of Canada.
Should I wipe my ass with unimportant trees, how noble that would be of me.
Air dry
Next, they need to evaluate facial tissue. Then, paper towels.
So
What is so important about this forest?
Good I expect that it comes from a good Canadian forest now print Trudeaus face on it and let me do my business
Go Kirkland!
We need to wash our asses with water to save the planet. Wait... 🤔
Well I can’t wipe my ass with ctv tweets
What’s next…Confused outrage that steaks come from cows?
I hope so. My ass deserves the best!
We’re back to the Trees again
WTF IS THIS JOURNALISM guys , wanna see prove of auto-destruction of information and death of journalism? follow
Fantastic news. Bunch of idiots working at
defundctv
Cut and trees planted ,if not nature will clear them by fire.
In Asian people wash their butt after no.2. no paper at all. Imagine if you wipe your hand instead of washing them, how is that clean🤷🏽♂️.
Oh, for fucks sake’s
What a fantastic way to attack your competitors!!!
How about all those “environmentally friendly” paper straws
We are starting to worry now about trees🤣🤣Wont be long before we are back to plastics!! We have played this song already in case woke dont know!!
I'm almost at the end of my Covid supply
Use leaves instead of toilet paper?
...'may be' or it is!? Go do some leg work and get back at us when you actually know that's the case.
People still use toilet paper?
Stop trying to save everything and accept the future without trees. Eventually the entire planet will be built right over them and we will grow them in giant greenhouses to capture co2. The outside is going to be a thing of the past. If you are going to go woke go all the way.
Oh great! Better start hoarding Toilet Paper folks! Due to climate change they may now be putting a ban on it.
dont forget to say that what is harvested is use properly .logs for lumber pulp for paper branches ect chipped and make into pellets for heating.
'The annual deforestation rate in Canada in 2010 was less than 0.02% of our forests and the rate has been declining for over 25 years. In 1990, 63,100 hectares were lost to deforestation and in 2014 this figure dropped to 34,200 hectares.'
Didn't Canada plan on planting 2 billion trees? Oh, maybe some cabinet ministers friend got the contract for it and only planted 2 million. Don't forget Paper Straws!😀😀
Wel toilet paper feels better on my ass than tree bark so there’s that I suppose.
Just an idea. This is usually reserved for ladies. But what if all toilets were retrofitted with bidet ? How many trees could be saved?
Use bidet and save trees!
This is news? you suck!
We got rid of plastic bags to have brown paper bags. So spare me
And Where the frig do u think toilet paper comes from if it’s not trees?
Can we use tree bark and steel wool instead?
It's Canada there's nothing but forest.
Guess we can use our fingers
Bidet Life … TP is for chumps
