“It’s important to limit the use of disposables
wherever possible to reduce the amount of waste produced.”
Disposable hand towels – often provided in away-from- home washrooms – have also been highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic as a hygienic hand drying method.
Again, consumption can be reduced with the aid of a smart dispensing system that limits the quantity of paper towels used. For example, the Tork PeakServe Continuous Hand Towel Dispenser is designed to give out only one towel at a time which naturally reduces consumption while also ensuring that each washroom visitor will only touch the towel they use.
At Essity, we are working towards further improving the sustainability of hand towels by pioneering the world’s first recycling service for paper towels.
Tork PaperCircle is being trialled in several European countries and enables customers to reduce their

environmental footprint by 40% compared with current waste-handling options. Used paper hand towels are collected from customers’ premises and taken to local recycling centres where they are turned into other tissue products. We hope to roll out the service to other countries later this year.
There are strong arguments for reusing and recycling products where possible, but disposable products are indispensable in many industries for reasons of health, safety and hygiene. As a sustainable manufacturer of disposables, it is our mission to provide safe and effective products that offer high levels of hygiene while also having a minimal impact on our environment.
