Tissue Paper 101: Everything You Need and its Types
A
thin piece of paper, or light crêpe paper, is known as tissue. On a paper
machine, recycled paper pulp may be converted into tissue. Given its many
functions, including as packing material, face tissues, sanitary tissue paper,
and paper towels, several types of tissue are created to better suit each of
these needs. Tissue paper is widely used in industrialised countries, with 6
million tonnes used in Europe and 21 million tonnes in North America.
Urbanisation is driving this use up. Due to this, the sector has frequently
been investigated for deforestation. Tissue paper is currently utilising more
recycled fibres thanks to more businesses. Absorbency, base weight, thickness,
bulk (specific volume), brightness, stretch, appearance, and comfort are the
main characteristics of tissues.
According
to Coherent Market Insights, The global
tissue paper market was pegged at 79.0 Billion tons in 2022 and is expected
to exhibit a CAGR of 6.80% in terms of volume over the forecast period
(2023-2030), and is expected to reach 133.7 Billion tons by 2030.
Applications
Hygienic
tissue paper
Napkins,
bathroom tissue, housekeeping towels and facial tissue (paper handkerchiefs)
are all frequent personal uses for hygienic tissue paper.
Facial
tissues
Facial
tissue, often known as paper handkerchiefs, is a category of disposable, soft,
absorbent paper that can be used on the face. Although it may also apply to
other forms of face tissues like napkins and wipes, the phrase is typically
used to describe the type of facial tissue, typically marketed in boxes, that
is intended to ease the evacuation of nasal mucus.
Paper
towels
Tissue
paper is used most frequently in the consumer goods
industry for paper towels. Typically, the base weight of this kind of paper is
between 20 and 24 g/m2. These paper towels are typically two-ply. This type of
tissue can be produced using a combination of recycled and chemical pulp, or it
can be generated entirely from chemical pulp. To increase strength, chemical
pulp with long fibres is typically used.
Wrapping
tissue
A
thin, transparent tissue paper known as "wrapping tissue" is used to
cushion fragile objects and wrap/pack a variety of things. Custom-printed
wrapping paper is quickly gaining popularity among small-scale retailers.
Online retailers provide a variety of on-demand custom printed wrapping paper.
Toilet
paper
Since
the turn of the 20th century, toilet paper has been offered in rolls.
Currently, Western countries uses more than 20 billion rolls of toilet paper
annually.
Table
napkins
Tissue
paper may be used to make tablecloths. Depending on the intended application
and current trends, they are produced from one to four plies and come in a
range of grades, sizes, folds, colours, and patterns. Depending on quality, raw
material composition ranges widely from deinked to chemical pulp.
