How does Lotus Professional® brand manage to stay ahead of the competition? One important way is by investing heavily in research and development.

As a company, we believe that innovation is essential. Developing innovative professional hygiene products is our way of satisfying customer needs, for today and for tomorrow .

Advances in technology, for instance, improve our manufacturing processes, from the best use of fiber to paper-making and converting techniques. Recently, we implemented new paper-making technology in Europe and achieved outstanding product quality in terms of softness and strength.

We are also working on ways for our hygiene products to eliminate even more bacteria on hands. And while we make these advances, we challenge ourselves to create cost-effective solutions as well.

We are convinced that new technology must go hand-in-hand with cutting back our carbon footprint and improving efficiency in the way we use resources.

Global Research and Development at Georgia-Pacific focuses on developing products that support sustainable practice. Some ways we do this is by improving efficiency in water and energy use, as well as by reclaiming and reusing waste.

Georgia-Pacific in Europe is permanently in touch with the Georgia-Pacific research center in the US. Research and development is not only a European concern – it is very much a global challenge.
