Sustainable hygiene solutions ideal for businesses

In a competitive world where greenwashing is a widespread phenomenon, choosing a supplier with impeccable practices is a major challenge!

At Cascades® and Cascades PRO®, sustainability has been part of our DNA since day one. We are proud of the depth of our commitment to sustainable development.

That’s why we are ranked among the 100 most responsible companies in the world by Corporate Knights.

Less talk, more action

Today, Cascades stands out in the packaging and paper tissue market by providing a range of products that promote resource saving.

In 2023, Cascades manufactured its products using 4.7 times less water and 2.3 times less energy, all while emitting 41% fewer greenhouse gases than the industry average

For Cascades PRO, this translates into significant reductions during the manufacturing of its hygiene products compared to the North American paper industry average.

These reductions are equivalent to

  • the annual electricity consumption of 4,728 Canadian households.
  • the amount of water contained in nearly 662 Olympic-size swimming pools.
  • the average annual CO2 emissions of 6,640 cars.

From cafeterias to restrooms, every action counts

Workers can be selective when it comes to their workplace, as shown by a recent survey that found that 42% of employees would not be willing to work for a company whose values do not align with their own7. Cleanliness is also an issue: another survey showed that 43% of employees would feel more comfortable in their workplace if hygiene measures were more stringent. This data encourages us to keep taking action and manufacture products that are as gentle on the planet as they are on the people who visit or work in your establishment,

A comprehensive eco-responsible approach

Cascades PRO offers a wide selection of solutions and products that meet user expectations and industry needs, From bathroom tissue rolls to paper hand towel dispensers, our offering is designed and manufactured according to environmental performance standards such as Green Seal®, FSC°, EcoLogo®, Green-e® and CMA.
