The Tork ‘more from less policy’ is about supporting sustainable consumption and ensuring that all Tork dispensers are designed to naturally reduce over-use and waste by giving out one sheet of paper or shot of soap at a time.
And an example of the company’s Circularity policy is Tork PaperCircle, which takes customers’ used paper towels to local recycling facilities and turns them into products such as toilet tissue and hand towels.

The two businesses will work closely together to support ongoing operations. No redundancies are expected as a result of this contract sale.
