NEW KCP ICON DISPENSER COLLECTION REDEFINES TOUCH-FREE EXPERIENCE IN
WASHROOMS Kimberly-Clark Professional launched its ICON dispenser collection in the UK in March 2023. This innovative washroom solution will bring game-changing hygiene and design, combined with a new standard of dispensing performance and human-centric experience, to deliver unmatched confidence that goes beyond simply dispensing paper towels.
The ICON portfolio showcases three system solutions for hand towels, toilet tissue and skincare, including soap and sanitiser.
Study by GfK, a European market research company shows hand hygiene in public washrooms has changed since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
To gain a better understanding of how people’s attitudes towards hygiene and handwashing have shifted in the wake of the global Covid-19 pandemic, Kimberly- Clark Professional commissioned a survey conducted by GfK in Europe. The survey revealed perceptions of cleanliness alongside evolving hygiene habits, expectations, and standards, such as:
• More than three-quarters (76%) of people have had poor experiences with hand hygiene in public washrooms since the start of the pandemic.
• Almost half (46%) of respondents wash their hands more frequently than before the pandemic because they pay more attention to hygiene overall.
• 42% have experienced empty or improperly functioning paper towel dispensers, leading to frequent complaints.
In the wake of Covid-19, the survey results underline that now more than ever, washroom users need reassurance that their hygiene, safety, and health are a top priority once they set foot in the washroom.

• Easy-to-read intuitive control panel, which means less training is required to operate the ICON dispensers.

Touchless performance for game- changing hygiene
The Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON collection features a high-performing and touchless dispensing system, with a seamless design and hidden towel mode that minimises contact points for a more hygienic experience and reduces the potential risks of cross- contamination. With dual sensor technology that recognises partially torn sheets and presents a new sheet before dispenser issues occur, the Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON collection provides reliable and hygienic dispensing by ensuring paper towels are always available for end-users.

The Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON collection is the most significant upgrade in technological advancements in dispensing in over a decade and is fully equipped to support facilities and cleaning staff to improve maintenance efficiency with:
• Direct Drive Technology, which provides the benefits of efficiency, better battery life and less noise - the quietest electronic dispenser on the market.
• The hand towel rolls have a plastic-free core plug to allow full recycling in a single waste stream.
• Minimal maintenance with 99.9% jam-free performance, and a single set of batteries that deliver up to 150,000 dispenses.
• It is simple to access and features a smooth, controlled opening and closing experience.
Function meets design: Ultimate dispensing experience
The act of handwashing goes beyond science. More than just a simple paper towel dispenser, the Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON collection features designer faceplates that add style to hygiene.
By incorporating visually appealing interior design elements, the range of colours and faceplates are designed to complement every environment to elevate the washroom experience. Designs include warm marble, cherry blossom, and ebony woodgrain, as well as black, silver and white mosaic. In addition, customised faceplates can be implemented for branding and advertising.

It also highlights Kimberly-Clark Professional’s commitment to being a global leading provider of hygiene, safety, and productivity solutions,”
