Compressed hand towels sustainable and efficient

New from Essity are Tork Xpress ® Multifold hand towel bundles that have been compressed by 50 percent compared with standard folded Tork towels. Essity uses compression technology to halve the amount of air in these bundles. This means the dispenser caters for double the number of customers and accommodates twice as many towels before requiring a refill.

“We are continually innovating to help businesses gain more from their existing resources and benefit from sustainable hygiene. Our compressed towels increase efficiency because they require fewer refills and help to ensure that towels are always available to support hygiene routines,” said Tork Hand Wiping Product Director, David Chalmers.

The new compressed towels also make life easier for cleaners because twice as many will fit onto a cleaning trolley. This saves time when transporting and refilling dispensers. The towels also offer sustainability benefits because they require up to 27 percent less packaging material than standard Tork folded towels. They also reduce CO2 emissions from transport because double the number will fit onto the same truck.

Additionally, they allow businesses to optimise their storage capacity since twice as many towels may be stored in the same space as non-compressed alternatives. New compressed bundles of Tork Xpress Multifold towels are particularly suitable for use in hotels, restaurants, cafés, offices, and smaller healthcare settings such as clinics and GP surgeries. Tork hygiene products and services aim to meet the needs of all businesses, particularly those with smaller facilities and without dedicated on-site facility managers.
