WEPA
Your expert for sustainable hygiene paper

WEPA recycled paper consists of 100% recycled paper. The paper that we use at home or in the office is discarded and then collected and sorted in waste paper containers or barrels. You can see how this is then processed into our recycled hygiene paper in our illustration of the recycled process.

Paper is used in industry, commerce and household (newspaper, boxes, etc.).

After use, these are collected and sorted in appropriate waste paper containers or tons.

The collected waste paper is processed into recycled fibre pulp in modern recycling plants.

Paper machines create paper webs under high temperatures, which are then processed into tissue paper.

Residues that are no longer suitable for paper production are used thermally, or for electricity and steam generation.

Residues from power and steam generation are used in the building materials industry.

WEPA hybrid products are a combination of recycled and cellulose fibres. The use of 30% recycled fibres improves their environmental footprint by 20%, compared to a 100% virgin pulp product.

Hybrid Fair Fibre hygiene paper meets consumer needs in terms of ecology and comfort. You can find out exactly how our WEPA Hybrid products are manufactured in our illustration of the hybrid process.

The raw material wood comes from sustainable forestry. Chemical pulping results in a fibrous mass, which is referred to as dried pulp.

The mixing of the raw material with water in the pulper produces a pulp.

The pulp and recycled material is pumped onto the paper machine and dried at high temperature into paper webs.

The paper webs are then processed into tissue paper.

WEPA pulp products are characterised by their high degree of softness and comfort. For its production processes, WEPA only uses pulp certified according to FSC® (FSC-C007254), and Controlled Wood. In addition to the requirements defined by the labels, we also make use of our own criteria as a benchmark and verify these in internal audits conducted at our suppliers. WEPA cellulose products are also made from fair fibre. WEPA recycled paper consists of 100% recycled paper. More information about how cellulose becomes finished toilet paper can be seen in the following illustration.
