Nice-Pak prioritizes plant-based fiber, increasing the amount of certified cellulosic fibers in our wipes year on year. We are committed to bringing environmental sustainability and improved health impacts to communities across the globe through our products, expertise, and education. We are focusing on forestry and environmental education to drive awareness that forests and trees are the best nature-based solution to address climate change and play a vital role in human health. Working with partners we will restore forests, improve tree equity, and support education that connects human and environmental health.
Restoration: Planting one hundred and fifty thousand trees over the next three years in ecosystems impacted by wildfires or other natural disasters.
Community Tree Planting: Identifying communities where there is a need to plant trees to improve health of people and the environment, improving their Tree Equity Score.
Education: Supporting the development of curriculum that focuses on the health benefits of forests and trees, helping to educate twenty-five thousand students about how forests and trees improve their health and wellbeing.
