PossibleInk and dye migration from recycled fiber
Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ink and dye migration from recycled fiber on the Seventh Generation and not on the Bounty.
- The Bounty is Virgin wood pulp, 1-ply, no waterproofing layer where the Seventh Generation is 100% recycled paper (virgin fiber-free), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
