Scott Uses 100 % Recycled Fiber in Paper Product Cores

I noticed an  interesting logo on a jumbo package of Scott bathroom tissue (a.k.a. toilet paper).  They note that "All Scott Brand Cores are Made With 100% Recycled Fiber."

While looking at their web site I noticed that they indicate what kind of plastic wrap is used for their products.

Napkins are packed in #7 (not typically or easily recycle) and Paper Towels are wrapped in #2 (easily recycled at most grocery stores).
