van Houtum Papier (VHP) was the first paper company to produce Cradle to Cradle paper towel and toilet paper. In the current period of uncertainty regarding influenza in its many forms, especially swine flu, the paper towel offers one of the best options for drying hands. The VHP C2C paper towel is disposable and why not use a sustainable paper grade to wipe your hands, especially when it has been certified as C2C. C2C certification ensures that the best measures are taken to make the paper either recyclable or biodegradable

In an announcement which resembles a rite of passage, Buckman has decided to shorten its name and recognise, 'Its growth from a small laboratory selling a few chemicals to a global supplier ..........
