ScottPaper was founded in 1879 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by brothers E. Irvin and Clarence Scott, and is often credited as being the first to market toilet paper sold on a roll.
In 1995ScottPaper merged with the Kimberly-Clark Corporation which continues to use the Scott brandname.
ScottPaper Limited, formerly a subsidiary, is no longer affiliated.
Normally, paper loses most of its strength when saturated with water, and one which retains more than 15% of its dry-strength when completely saturated with water may be correctly referred to as "wet-strength paper".
Paper recovery is the practice of collecting paper for recycling or some other end use (such as composting).
Paper made from it is technically not recycled paper at all as it has never previously reached the public.
