WHAT’S NEW?
NEW TORK CLEANING CLOTH HELPS COMPANIES MEET
THEIR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS Designed to help customers meet their sustainability goals is the new Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloth from Essity.
This highly versatile cloth is made from 99% plant-based, sustainably- sourced fibres and has been independently certified as OK Biobased by TÜV Austria.
“Customers are increasingly demanding products that enable them to meet their sustainability goals while also improving productivity,” said Essity’s Matthew Medhurst, Industrial Sales Manager, Professional Hygiene.
“Products such as Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloth provide them with the benefits of improved performance for absorption, durability, linting and solvent consumption - while also reducing their environmental impact.”
UAP LTD AIDS ENCEPHALITIS SOCIETY OUTREACH ACROSS
THREE INITIATIVES Hardware and locking systems specialist, UAP Ltd, has helped provide support to those living with the effects of encephalitis and to further research into diagnosis and treatment with a triple charity donation initiative.
The company’s CEO, David Jennings, was appointed vice president of the Encephalitis Society in January. He is passionate about research into treatments and prevention for the condition, which is an inflammation of the brain caused by an infection or a faulty immune response. He is also keen to help those living with the condition, having lost his own brother, Phillip, to encephalitis at the age of just 17 in 1975.
UAP Ltd has a long history of raising money for charity and helping communities local to their Manchester HQ and around the world, so David was keen that encephalitis would be a key focus for this year.
Capable of handling both light and heavy-duty cleaning tasks, Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloths are effective at mopping up water, oil and grease-based spills. The cloths have a highly durable design for a longer life, helping to reduce costs and consumption. And the fact that they are dispensed one at a time from the pack means that waste is reduced because users only take out what they need.
Tork Biobased Heavy- Duty Cleaning Cloths are part of a complete range of Tork cloths and wipers designed for use in industrial environments.
Tork manufacturer Essity is committed to sustainability in the professional hygiene sector. Tork now uses 100% recycled cardboard fibre and 30% recycled plastic in its packaging.
The company has contributed to a travel bursary to help medical professionals from low-to-middle income countries attend the Encephalitis Conference in London in December, hosted by The Royal College of Physicians, so that they can benefit from knowledge sharing and the latest insights and research into the condition. UAP has also contributed to seed funding to help researchers in developing countries to further their programmes in the field.
Closer to home, UAP Ltd has also co-funded a respite weekend for children living with encephalitis and their families in the Peak District. The first ‘in person’ event held by the Encephalitis Society since the beginning of the pandemic, the action-packed weekend included zip wires, archery, raft building, orienteering, abseiling, and a singalong with a storytelling folk singer, along with focus groups to discuss topics as diverse as coping at school and how the Encephalitis Society can improve its outreach work.
David Jennings commented: “I have very personal reasons to want to help those working towards encephalitis prevention, treatment and support for people living with the condition, but the whole UAP team has got behind the fundraising initiative and I am proud that we have been able to contribute for those involved with the Encephalitis Society in the UK and around the world.”
