![]() The cellulose fibers are then thoroughly separated in refiners before being formed into a web, or sheet, on the forming section of the creped wadding machine. The pulp is mixed with water to form a pulp slurry of individual fibers in water known as stock or furnish.Īs the stock moves to the machine, more water is added to make a thinner mixture which is more than 99 percent water. ![]() At the tissue manufacturing mills, the bales of pulp are put into a hydrapulper, which resembles a giant electric mixer. Pulp manufacturing mills are usually near the wood source, while tissue manufacturing mills are located close to major markets. These sheets are baled for ease of handling and shipping, ready for manufacture into the final product.ĭescribe the manufacturing process for KLEENEX® Facial Tissue. The pulp is then processed and dried into sheets on a pulp drying machine. Individual cellulose fibers are separated by “cooking” the wood. The logs are washed, debarked and cut into small, uniform chips. Select wood is either transported to the pulp mill in the form of chips from lumber processing or as logs. Kimberly-Clark conducts a well-planned forest management and reforestation program that ensures a supply of pulpwood for present and future needs. Approximately one-third of the pulp used is supplied by Kimberly-Clark’s own pulp mills. Pulp is purchased from a number of different sources. High-quality KLEENEX® Tissue requires high-quality cellulose fibers. Selected tree species, including spruce, fir, aspen, maple and eucalyptus contain thin wood fibers which contribute to the desirable characteristics of softness, absorbency and strength in KLEENEX® Tissue. What types of trees are used to manufacture KLEENEX® Facial Tissue? Therefore, we suggest you discard KLEENEX® Facial Tissue in the trash. Because the tissue is made with an additive to make it strong, it will not break down as rapidly as bathroom tissue. KLEENEX® Tissue is made with biodegradable cellulose fibers. Is KLEENEX® Facial Tissue biodegradable? Flushable? Help me out dopers! What does Kleenex do to me? But I’m still curious to what the effects are. I would like to kick the habit and am I about to make a concentrated attempt to drop it for good. Possible dehydration, although I don’t think I’ve experienced this.ģ: Kleenex not passing through my digestive system. My concerns over the habit arise from the following things:Ģ: Dryness of Kleenex. My dentist observed that my teeth were strangely clean along the bottom. This is actually a positive effect.ĥ: It cleans plague off my teeth, at least along the bottom. Agreed, this was an ill-effect.ģ: It makes me thirsty, presumably due to the dryness of the Kleenex.Ĥ: When I excrete, it usually floats but never requires any wiping. Kleenex and toilet paper do not do this, and I know longer have braces anyhow. I have, however, observed the following:ġ: It satisfies my hunger, although I would never eat Kleenex for that reason.Ģ: When I still had braces chewing kitchen towel caused a few brackets to snap off. The fact is that although I know eating Kleenex is not natural, there don’t appear to be any ill effects. I have quit several times with relative ease, but the habit always returns, probably corresponding with a heavy workload. ![]() People around me are horrified and tell me to stop or to think of the damage it’s doing to me. A whole pack of gum often does not come close to the size of just one Kleenex. I don’t find chewing gum provides enough ‘meatyness’. It’s also a good time passer, and mostly just a habit. I feel that chewing them helps me think better. On average, I must swallow from ten to twenty Kleenex a day. I put them in my mouth so I can chew them, and then usually forget to take them out and swallow them. Sometimes it’s fresh toilet paper or kitchen towels. Usually I consume the regular plain ones produced by Kleenex themselves. I have been eating Kleenex for about three years. ![]() I hope you can say ‘I eat Kleenex’, forgive me if you can’t. I’m British, so if I had my way the OP would read ‘I eat tissues’, but I’m not sure if everyone here would understand it.
