purpose-designed to be easy to use by people with low hand strength.
Busy washrooms benefit from solutions that keep people moving smoothly and efficiently. Hand towels provide a quick, flexible drying option and allow visitors to take a towel and continue on their way without delay, helping to maintain a steady flow and reduce congestion.
The Tork PeakServe Continuous Hand Towel Dispenser delivers each towel in just three seconds, reducing the user’s waiting time. And the fact that it caters for more than 1,000 delegates between refills helps to ensure a long-lasting supply.
Digital technology can be a great help in keeping track of washroom needs. Sensors placed in the dispensers will allow staff members to monitor usage and check on refill levels remotely via a smartphone or tablet, for example. And sensors in the cubicles will alert cleaning teams when a particular cubicle is receiving a particularly high usage.
Systems such as Tork Vision Cleaning remove the need for cleaners to make multiple physical checks on the washrooms, saving them time and effort. The software also incorporates a smart checklist that provides pictograms and descriptions of each task, enabling the cleaner to tick off each job as it is completed. Managers also have instant access to this data so that he or she can tell at a glance whether anything has been missed.
Since conference and meetings venues are packed with decision-makers, it is in the best interests of the organisers to create a favourable impression on delegates who will then be keener to come back or even stage future events at the venue.
Clean floors, sanitised surfaces and well-stocked washrooms will win the approval of conference hall users. However, they will also be influenced by other factors such as the smell of the venue; the amount of rubbish overflowing from the bins and any evidence of unsustainable practices.

A good air freshener system will ensure that the meetings rooms and washrooms smell fresh throughout the event. For example, the Tork Constant Air Freshener uses propellant-free technology to neutralise odours while the fragrance lasts for up to 90 days before needing a refill.
All conference venues need to deploy optimal waste management systems to ensure that the mountains of rubbish generated can be swiftly cleared away and recycled where possible. Smart bins can help because these will track fill levels and alert the cleaning team when a container needs emptying.
Delegates will be impressed by evidence of sustainable practices and many of today’s bins can track the items being thrown away. Data from a smart food bin, for example, will reveal whether accompaniments such as side salads and garnishes are frequently being thrown away. Catering managers can then opt to avoid serving these items in future to help to reduce waste.
Implementing a washroom hand towel recycling system is another way of demonstrating good sustainability practices. Essity’s Tork PaperCircle is ideal for high- traffic venues such as conference halls.
Customers have their used washroom hand towels picked up from their business premises and taken to local Essity mills where they are turned into new tissue products. Clear signage in the washroom indicates where delegates should place their used towels for recycling.
Conference centres face a significant challenge in striving to ensure that their premises remain clean, smell fresh and demonstrate sustainable practices. However, optimum results may be achieved with a combination of good organisation, efficient cleaning teams and the right choice of products and systems.
