New from Essity are Tork Xpress® Multifold hand towel bundles that have been compressed by 50 per cent 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.
“Businesses today deeply understand the need for access to hand hygiene,” said Tork Hand Wiping Product Director David Chalmers.
“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.”
The new compressed towels also make life easier for cleaners because twice as many will fit on to a cleaning trolley. This saves time when transporting and refilling dispensers.
The towels also offer sustainability benefits because they require up to 27 per cent less packaging material than standard Tork folded towels. They also reduce CO2 emissions from transport because double the number will fit on to the same truck.
And 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.
According to a study carried out by Essity, 71 per cent of cleaners wish they had access to dispenser systems that were easier to refill. Tork research also reveals that the Tork Xpress Multifold hand towel system is particularly intuitive to use and easy to refill, even for untrained personnel.
