Tissue paper production in Sofidel plants – National Geographic

This video shows an excerpt from the documentary film “Chasing Paper”, produced by National Geographic to mark the 50th anniversary of the Sofidel Group, a global leader in the household and hygienic tissue paper manufacturing market. The video shows the Sofidel Group’s plants and paper production process, and highlights the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability, which it pursues by limiting CO2 emissions, respecting forestry resources, and using water resources more rationally.
The full version of the documentary, broadcast on European National Geographic channels, explores the history of paper, with English presenter Tim Shaw taking viewers on a journey through Europe. After talking about the inventor of paper, Cai Lun, Shaw takes us from Salisbury Cathedral, which houses the Magna Carta, the first and most ancient written document on human rights, to Fabriano, where ancient papermakers perfected the paper production process, making paper a reliable and durable material. The journey also takes in Mainz, where Gutenberg invented printing with movable type, and we discover how, today, paper is produced industrially at the Sofidel Group’s plants.
