Abstract
Globally, paper tissue is used daily in the millions of tonnes. Since paper tissue is a
single use waste, it is important to determine its environmental impact. The objective
of this paper is to determine the environmental impact of paper tissue production using
the APOS and Cut-off system model. This paper also discusses on the comparison of
these two models and to determine the critical process in paper tissue production. It is
found that the waste from paper tissue production contributes to midpoint
environmental impact such as global warming, ozone depletion, eutrophication,
ecotoxicity, human toxicity, resource depletion, and water consumption. It is
determined that the critical process of tissue paper production can be traced to the
pulping and retting and mixing of wood pulp in the manufacturing process.
