Green Hygienics Receives First Order for Bamboo Tissue from Albertsons

Green Innovations Ltd. and its subsidiary Green Hygienics Inc., Cape Coral, Fla., USA, announced this past week that Albertsons has placed the first order for Sensational® bamboo bath tissue and kitchen towels for distribution in its 115 stores located throughout the southwestern U.S.

"Albertsons has answered the call to 'Go Greenest' with Green Hygienics' Sensational bamboo line," said Jeff Thurgood, VP of Sales for Green Hygienics. "Consumers looking for truly environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly products that are even greener than recycled can now turn to Albertsons for their chance to join the 'go greenest' movement." 

Some benefits of bamboo-based paper products, according to Green Hygenics, include:

• Bamboo groves releases 35% more oxygen into the air than a similar-sized stand of trees 
• Bamboo matures within seven years, compared with 30-50 years for a normal stand of trees 
• Bamboo improves soil conditions and prevent erosion 
• Bamboo is so fast-growing that it can yield 20 times more "timber" than normal trees.

Green Hygenics adds that the smooth texture and strength of paper products made from all-natural bamboo makes it ideal for bath tissue, facial tissues, kitchen towels, and more. The company plans to continue to develop and launch other products made from bamboo.
