Buyer perspective
This guide focuses on the information needed to compare and confirm supply. It does not replace the approved product specification or order documents.
Material choice follows the product brief
Virgin pulp and recycled fiber are material directions, not complete quality grades. Each can cover different performance and market positions depending on furnish, processing and the finished-product requirement.
Questions to compare
Buyers should define the intended application and acceptance criteria before comparing material options.
- Target softness, color and appearance
- Strength and absorbency requirements
- Food-contact or market-specific requirements where applicable
- Consumer, commercial or away-from-home use
- Required documentation and sample approval
Confirm by specification and sample
Do not assume all recycled grades are brown or that all virgin grades perform identically. Confirm the actual grade, finished-product performance and approved sample for the intended order.
