Serious Tissues (made from cereal boxes!)
Serious Tissues offers quality paper tissues as nice on your nose as premium brands, but these are made from 100% recycled paper, in plastic-free packaging. As well as being free from dyes or scents, these tissues are produced in the Midlands, creating employment for local people.
Made from old cereal boxes and newspaper), each delivery includes 6 packs of 72 tissues, in thick 3-ply size. The tissues are naturally off-white, using a non-chlorine bleaching agent to remove colour from recycled magazines and documents. Save 10% on monthly deliveries.
The company can also supply wholesale to doctor surgeries, hospitals, offices, hotels etc. The brand was founded by four fathers (collectively to eight children), who wished to do something to help. A tree is planted for each box sold (a million trees and counting) to store carbon and provide homes for wildlife.
At the website, you can subscribe online for big savings (you can pause or cancel anytime). This works out way more affordable than buying separate boxes in shops. And it’s good to have them on standby, as you never know when you’re going to get a cold!
Just bin these tissues for hygiene to naturally break down. Don’t flush them (they are thicker than toilet paper and could clog drains, and cause fatbergs and garden floods (which will not make you popular with your neighbours).
Just what you need for colder weather. A strong tissue to contain your sneezes!
Great quality.
How to Safely Blow Your Nose
If you have a cold or bunged up nose, here’s how to do it – advice from the expert to prevent making your ears pop, rupturing blood vessels, or forcing air into your middle ear (not good).
- Place one finger against one nostril and apply pressure.
- Take a breath, then gently blow the other side of your nose, into the tissue.
- Then do the same on the other side.
- Then wash your hands, avoid passing germs onto others.
Why Choose Eco Facial Tissues?
Each year, millions of tree are chopped down daily (mostly in Boreal forests that are home to moose, elk, wolves and grizzly bears), just to make facial tissues that are then wrapped in plastic. Just imagine the effect if everyone switched to recycled paper, bamboo or washable cotton tissues instead?
