Paper Products
New paper products are showing up on Wal-Mart shelves across America. In line with eliminating unwanted waste, we are working with suppliers to develop "Extended Roll Life" products that condense several rolls of either toilet paper or paper towels into one "Extended Roll Life" roll. These products eliminate the need for extra cardboard centers, reduce the amount of packaging, save space on our shelves and in our trucks, and are designed to save our customers time and money. For example, the Charmin® 6 Mega Roll pack contains the same amount of toilet paper as a regular Charmin® 24 roll pack. By selling twice as many Charmin® 6 Mega Roll packs, we can ship twice as many units on our trucks, eliminate 89.5 million cardboard roll cores, eliminate 360,087 pounds of plastic wrapping and reduce our diesel consumption by 53,966 gallons. To eliminate non-paper waste associated with paper products, we are working with suppliers to eliminate the wrapping from individual paper towel rolls that are sold as a multiple unit package. By reducing a small amount of plastic from one type of product, we can eliminate hundreds of pounds of trash from landfills every year.
