AN INNOVATIVE RETURN
A highlight of Interclean Amsterdam is always the Amsterdam Innovation Award, and the 2022 edition was no different. This year the ceremony crowned winners across several categories while all the nominees got a chance to shine at the InnovationLAB next to Hall 5.
On the first morning of Interclean Amsterdam, the jury of the Amsterdam Innovation Award 2022 announced the Overall Winner: Essity’s Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloth.
Discussing the Jury’s opinion of the winner, Jury chair Michelle Marshall, commented: “Essity has identified key objectives among customers: the reduction of CO2 emissions, the reduction of water consumption, reduction of waste generation, reduction of energy consumption, use of certified products. It takes a lifecycle assessment approach in the development of new products and also seeks to reduce carbon footprint. Crucially, it aims to help its customers reduce their carbon footprint too.
“Essity can back up all its claims through independent certification – it is recognised and acknowledged by many organisations. The technology that is being used with this Biobased cloth can now be used to expand the range and offer products in different formats in order to offer greater flexibility. The compressed packaging makes for easier handling – important for the cleaning staff –

and the environmental impact of the packaging has not been forgotten either. It’s made from fibres that are 100% recycled and plastics that are at least 30% recycled.”
In the category of ‘Sustainability & Environment’, Essity’s Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloth also triumphed, narrowly edging out Maya Professional’s Eversea Multipurpose Cloth and Spectro’s Ecodos Dosage Bottle.
Commenting on the win, the jury said: “With the development of this new cloth, Essity is aiming to reduce consumption, waste, pollution and emissions. The fact the packaging is made from fibres that are 100% recycled and plastics that are at least 30% recycled completes the sustainability picture for the customer.”
In ‘Smart Technologies & Digitalisation’, Gausium Robotics’ Scrubber 50 Pro took the top spot, followed by the Swep EviSense by Vileda Professional and the R3Scrub from LionsBot.
The jury noted: “The Scrubber 50 Pro is a great reflection of how robotic technology in the cleaning sector is progressing. It’s suitable for use in a wide range of applications – in both small or medium-sized spaces – it can negotiate obstacles well and can even return to finish the job later. It also uses AI to detect spills or stains and then spot cleans them automatically.”
In the category of ‘Workforce & Ergonomics’, Arcora’s Pu- Pad Light took the crown ahead of Kärcher’s BVL 5/1 BP and RCM’s NEXBOT.
