As a true UK manufacturer, Northwood is focused on a full circle economy. It's one of a handful of companies in the UK that is fully vertically integrated, selling as well as converting parent reels. The business collects more than 100,000 tonnes of recovered fibres and produces more than 70,000 recycled parent reels a year. 80% of Northwood’s products are made from recycled paper and all of Northwood’s paper mills now produce Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified base sheet paper.
Northwood is involved at each point in the supply chain, from raw material supply, tissue and towel manufacturing, end user product converting and transportation. The business operates across 10 sites in the UK, which includes three tissue mills. The ISO 14001 accredited mills minimise waste and impact on the local environment wherever possible. Working closely with the agriculture sector, the mills supply farms with manufacturing byproducts, which are used for animal bedding and fertiliser.
