Patent ID: 7871493

Claim:
A method of making a roll of tissue comprising: (a) forming a wet tissue web from an aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers, said papermaking fibers having a Water Retention Value of about 1.5 grams of water or less per gram of fiber; (b) dewatering the wet web to a consistency from about 50 to about 65 percent of the Water Retention Consistency of the wet web; wherein the wet web is dewatered with a multi-zone air press; (c) transferring the dewatered web to a molding fabric, wherein the dewatered web conforms to the surface of the molding fabric to form a molded wet web; (d) transferring the molded wet web to the surface of a hooded Yankee dryer; (e) drying the web to a consistency of about 90 percent or greater and creping the dried web to produce a tissue sheet having a basis weight from about 25 to about 40 grams per square meter, a Formation Index of about 110 or greater, and a Vertical Water Absorbent Capacity of about 9 grams of water or greater per gram of fiber, wherein the total CO 2 equivalent emissions per 38 square feet of tissue used for dewatering and drying the tissue sheet is from about 60 to about 100 grams; and (f) converting the tissue sheet into a roll of single-ply tissue having a roll bulk of about 10 cubic centimeters or greater per gram of fiber.
