We’re all aware of the importance of saving paper, and most of us try to do our bit when it comes to reducing, reusing, and recycling, but that’s a bit tricky when it comes to toilet paper! It’s probably the only paper material we can legitimately get away with only using once.
Twinsaver manufactures environmentally sustainable RF products from post-consumer paper that is reworked into new tissue paper. The manufacturing process is energy and water efficient. Twinsaver RF products are good for the environment because they save wastepaper from occupying landfill, are eco-friendly, 100% biodegradable and conserves natural resources. In addition, Twinsaver Green Choice offers quality RF products without compromising softness.
Our Green Choice Range aims to help you meet growing concerns for the environment with sound, Eco-friendly, and cost-effective product choices that deliver the quality and performance you expect.
Twinsaver is the biggest high-quality recycled fibre (RF) tissue manufacturer in South Africa.

A SMARTER CHOICE
FOR YOUR BUSINESS
RECYCLED FIBRE
VS VIRGIN FIBRE
- 50% of all our products are made from 100% recycled (the Green Choice range is 100% recycled).
- Recycled Fibre is sourced through informal collectors, providing much-needed income to communities.
- Over 60% of the water we use in manufacturing is now sourced from boreholes (reducing our reliance on reservoirs and river systems).
- 100% biodegradable & septic tank safe (toilet paper only).
- We use a chlorine-free, sulphate-based bleaching agent that is less harmful to the environment.
- With ISO 9001 certification across all sites, we comply with the highest quality management systems.
We won’t whitewash this fact – any tissue made from Recycled Fibre (RF) is NEVER going to be as white as a roll made from new or Virgin Fibre (VF).
What’s good to know is, we make our Green Choice range as bright as possible, with a sulphite-based bleaching agent (not chlorine or chlorine-dioxide) that is less harmful to the environment.
Our Green Choice toilet paper is soft, strong and as bright as our nearest competitor, it’s also 10% thicker than comparable Virgin Fibre 1 Ply toilet paper.
Little by little our choices make a big difference. By using Twinsaver RF products in our everyday life, we can help conserve our natural resources and build a sustainable future.
Any tissue made from Recycled Fibre (RF) is NEVER going to be as soft or white as a roll made from Virgin Fibre (VF) derived from new-cut forestry wood.
This is because the longer fibres in virgin wood are easier to lay out and fluff up for a softer tissue, and the whiteness is created by extensive use of harmful chlorine-based bleaches.
But, we do make our recycled paper as bright as possible, our Green Choice toilet tissue is softer, stronger, and as bright as our RF nearest competitor while 10% thicker than comparable VF product.
Our Virgin Fibre is sourced from sustainably managed forests.
OUR GREEN CHOICE PRODUCT JOURNEY
JOB CREATION
All material used in our Recycled Fibre tissue is sourced from informal recycling collectors, providing sustainable incomes to communities in need while extending the lifespan of landfills.
WATER-WISE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
We’re working to reduce our impact on the environment at every stage of our operations, our initiatives have produced a 5% reduction in the use of energy in all manufacturing sites and over 60% of total water usage through boreholes.
RESPONSIBLE WASTE MANAGEMENT
The sludge by-product of our Recycled Fibre paper manufacture process is used to make bricks which are used in a range of community upliftment and infrastructure projects.
RECYCLABLE PACKAGING
We use recyclable poly packaging across the Twinsaver Green Choice range to integrate our product usage with our clients’ recycling initiatives.
By using Twinsaver Recycled Fibre (RF) products in our everyday life, we can help conserve our natural resources and build a sustainable future.
