Most people leave uni with a degree and a mountain of dept. Ziah left with a multi-million dollar business idea. For her final uni project Lane came up with an environmentally friendly brand. No Issue Tissues – tree-free tissues made out of bamboo fibres.
Ask anyone in business what the Holy Grail is for a retail outlet. They’ll answer Woolworths or Coles. So Ziah Lane hit the jackpot in 2011 when, as part of her Masters of Design project, she presented the concept for No Issues Tissues to Woolworths, along with a prototype box.

Passionate about her product, and the environment, Ziah says, “Bamboo is the future of the paper industry. I am an advocate and I want everyone to know that. That’s why Ziah set out to create No Issues Tissues."

"The industry was begging for disruption; it was boring and old fashioned. In major stores, there wasn't even an environmentally friendly option in the tissue section" The idea was so simple and the technology existed, so Ziah decided she was going to be the one to do it.
Revolutionising the paper industry with sustainable bamboo
Entrepreneur and lover of our planet, Ziah Lane, founded NO ISSUES, a brand that’s introduced tree free household products, including facial tissues, toilet paper, paper towels and travel packs.
MAJOR PRIZE WINNER - Ziah Lane, No Issues Tissues. 100% tree-free tissues, toilet paper and paper towels made from renewable and sustainable bamboo. No trees are used in the production of these products.
Each year, an estimated 15 billion trees are cut down worldwide to produce paper, timber and other consumables. Terrified by the statistics, entrepreneur, designer and ‘eco-warrior’ Ziah Lane launched NO ISSUES.
