Solaris LoCorŽ Paper takes one of the U.S. Green Building Council’s
less-traveled paths to sustainability. By producing paper
with Rapidly Renewable Fiber, grown on virgin Acacia and Eucalyptus plantations a line of fine paper is produced
in an ecologically responsible way.
Four Advantages of Virgin Plantation-Grown Fiber
Ten Good Reasons to Specify RRF Products 1. LEED-compliant* 2. Responsibly harvested – no deforestation 3. Much better strength and softness compared to “brown” recycled 4. Rapid tissue dispersion in water 5. Greater towel wet strength 6. Increased efficiency in use due to better characteristics 7. No use of potentially toxic Optical Brightening Agents 8. Reduced energy footprint versus recycled 9. Secure supply of plantation-grown pulp 10. Solaris’ Zero Deforestation Commitment * EQc7 of LEED EBOM 2016 (v4) and IEQc3.3 of LEED EBOM 2009 (v3)
HEIGHT OF TREES
Plantation-Based Rapid Growth of Renewables is 3 to 7 times faster and removes no existing forest growth. Trees are grown as crops.
Rapidly Renewable 6-8 years to harvest
Old Growth Tree 30-50 years to harvest
