MIAMI, March 27, 2017 – Atlas Tissue is pleased to introduce the Green Heritage^® line of recycled tissue products to the at-home market. Atlas Tissue, a business of Resolute Forest Products (NYSE: RFP) (TSX: RFP), is changing the way consumers view recycled products with its Green Heritage premium 100% recycled tissue line that is Soft on you.
