Green Hygienics has launched a line of 100% tree-free, bamboo-based products. The bamboo products include bath tissue, facial tissue, paper towels, napkins, and copy paper.

"Bamboo is becoming a popular alternative to trees due to its sustainability, affordability and global availability," said Philip Rundle, CEO of Green Innovations. "Kimberly-Clark announced last fall that they are projecting a significant change to bamboo-based products by 2025. We are introducing our line in 2013!"

Green Hygienics says that it has approximately $1.4 million in products being manufactured and being received in September 2013. These products will be available to retailers immediately.

Currently, the company has purchase orders on hand for approximately $320,000, and it is finalizing potential purchase orders with large retail chains for its virgin paper products and Clearly Herbal(R) baby wipes which will be announced upon receipt.

"Being first-to-market with our products that offer the consumer and the merchant the option to be eco-friendly is a huge advantage," said Jeff Thurgood, VP of Sales of Green Hygienics. "We feel it could rapidly become our highest demand product and provide significant revenues to the company."
