Are Kleenex tissues recyclable?

Yes, Kleenex tissues are recyclable. However, it's important to note that they are not recyclable through traditional curbside recycling programs due to their fiber composition. Although Kleenex tissues are made from paper fibers, they are often too small and too contaminated with germs and other impurities to be effectively recycled. To ensure proper recycling, Kimberly-Clark (the company that produces Kleenex) has partnered with specialized recycling programs, such as TerraCycle. Through TerraCycle's program, you can collect used Kleenex tissues and send them in for recycling. This innovative recycling process allows for every part of the tissue to be repurposed, diverting waste from landfills and reducing environmental impact. Please consult Kleenex's website or contact their customer support for detailed instructions on participating in the recycling program.
