DISPOSABLES UK’S BAY WEST SPEARHEADS EUROPEAN
EXPANSION Disposables UK, which is part of the Northwood group, is celebrating significant growth in Europe fuelled by its Bay West brand, as the company places ever increasing emphasis on the export market with recent expansion into Germany, France, Ireland and the Netherlands.
The success follows recent product launches from Bay West, Disposables UK’s leading brand, which includes the Bay West Alliance Dispenser and the Bay West Impressions range.
These two new product ranges will benefit those operating in the UK and European sectors by giving additional cost savings and helping waste reduction in high traffic washrooms.
Paul Halliwell, Sales Director at Disposables UK, said: “Bay West continues to boom in Europe and its success there is testament to the product’s excellent reputation. Demand for the product range has
BANGALORE PARENTS UNHAPPY WITH IDEA OF THEIR CHILDREN CLEANING PUBLIC
TOILETS A move by the Karnataka Legislature Petitions Committee in Bangalore, India that recommends school children clean public toilets in order to ‘promote cleanliness and the concept of community-responsibility’ has been met with negativity by parents, who have shot down the idea, claiming it is ‘primitive’ and ‘exposes kids to infections’.
The committee recommended last month that the government introduce a rule that makes it mandatory for

helped us break into Germany, the largest European market, where, even in this more mature market, customers are looking for something new. We’ve been able to meet that demand with the addition of new products to the range including the Bay West Alliance Dispenser and the Bay West Impressions toilet tissue and hand towels.
“Bay West’s reputation precedes it and our European customers are impressed by the fact that we became the first UK paper converter in the
school students from 8th to 12th grade to clean the school premises and devote at least two hours a month to cleaning public roads and toilets in close proximity to the school campus.
But the Parents Association has threatened to hit the streets in protest if the government approves these recommendations.
Speaking to the Bangalore Mirror, Mullahalli Suri, the association’s President, said: “We wholeheartedly condemn such a move. Before asking our kids to clean toilets, it will be nice if the legislators can set an example by asking their children to do so.”
And RTE students and parents’ association General Secretary B N Yogananda added: “In many of the schools, there are no toilets. So the priority should be to build toilets rather than cleaning them. We are planning
away-from-home market to gain EU Ecolabel certification on the range.”
With growth in Europe flying, Disposables will continue to focus on boosting existing markets and opening up new opportunities. The company will seek to further cement its place in the EU market by bolstering its presence at the 2016 ISSA/Interclean event. New products, including the Bay West Alliance dispenser and the recently extended Bay West Impressions range will be on show.

to approach court if the government issues any order related to this.”
However, some have spoken in support of the Petitions Committee, who has said that prior to taking up the cleanliness drive, students would receive proper training.
One such supporter is Hubballi- Dharwad ex-Mayor Panduranga Patil, who said: “Asking students to clean roads, toilets and school premises may sound rude for some people, but it is not something new.
“I am 67 years old; when I was a kid during school days, we were cleaning school premises in the morning hours. But people act like puritans and think that cleaning and keeping surroundings is not their job. This mentality should go and that can happen with a change in the mindset of the younger generation.”
