Tissue and towel producers and customers moving toward light brown paper to go green [From the web]

NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2012 (Wall Street Journal) - When consumers see brown they think green, say companies that sell products like paper towels, napkins and diapers.

Dunkin' Brands Inc. and Target Corp.'s in-store cafes among other chains have made the switch from white to brown napkins. Next week, Cascades Tissue Group is trying what marketers long considered the unthinkable: brown toilet paper. It is pitching beige rolls, dubbing the product "Moka."

Brown paper products are becoming an obvious way for consumers to show that they care about the environment.
