One thousand 4×3.75 inch sheets of white tissue paper are wrapped around a cylindrical cardboard center. There are ninety-six of those rolls tightly packed into a box, and the boxes are stacked six feet tall. Both the boxes and the floral toilet paper wrapping, are heavily adorned in symbols: a Tork Universal logo, a recycling pyramid, a septic safe stamp, a proud “Made-in-the-Grand-ol’-USA” flag, and a certified biodegradable crest— there were clearly great efforts made to communicate company policy.
What all those symbols really communicate is that Tork Universal is a company that cares. Both the actual product and the cardboard case it is stored in are made of 100% Recycled Fibers, and, the toilet paper is made to degrade in an environmentally friendly fashion. The US also has stricter factory emission regulations than the countries we outsource to, like China, so by keeping their factory in Philadelphia they are taking steps to make sure fewer pollutants are thrown into the atmosphere. Based solely on the Tork Universal toilet paper packing, it is evident they are environmentally conscience company that make several efforts to ensure that their product will create the least waste, build up, and damage to the environment as possible.
