Cascades Tissue Group has signed an agreement to purchase 20,000 megawatt hours of wind energy to produce its North River towel and tissue line of products. The purchase is a 182 percent increase over Cascades’ current wind energy usage levels.
The newly purchased wind energy will offset 100 percent of the electricity used to manufacture its North River line of commercial towel and tissue products, which are made from 100 percent recycled fiber, primarily post-consumer fiber. The line of tissue products are certified Green Seal, EcoLogo and Processed Chlorine Free.
The wind energy will be sourced from the Charles City Wind Farm, located in Iowa and supplied by Community Energy Inc.
