PossibleInk and dye migration from recycled fiber

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Chlorine residues (bleaching byproducts) and Bacterial or mold growth in storage on the Scott and not on the Seventh Generation.
  • We flag Ink and dye migration from recycled fiber on the Seventh Generation and not on the Scott.
  • The Scott is virgin fiber paper napkin, uncoated 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 →
