traditional rolls. This removes the need for frequent refills and avoids the risk of runouts. The dispensers are also designed for fast refilling and are certified as being Easy to Use by the Swedish Rheumatism Association. And the fact that the rolls are coreless means less waste is generated, which is a sustainability advantage.
The Tork SmartOne Twin Mini Toilet Roll System also works well in conference centres because it comes in a dispenser that delivers one sheet of paper at a time. This helps to prevent runouts and blockages while also reducing usage by up to 40%. A new roll can be inserted at any time to ensure a continuous supply and the SmartCore core removal system enables fast and easy refilling for staff.
Tork Foam Soaps are another good option for large, busy venues because each cartridge caters for up to 1,650 visitors, helping to reduce consumption by up to 50 per cent compared with a liquid refill of the same size. This helps to prevent runouts while the fact that the sealed cartridge can be replaced in seconds speeds up the task of refilling for the cleaner. The dispenser also requires a particularly low push-force which makes accessing the soap both quick and easy.
A high-capacity hand towel dispenser will allow visitors to take a towel and move on, drying their hands as they go while freeing up the unit for the next user.
The Tork PeakServe Continuous Hand Towel Dispenser caters for more than 1,000 guests between refills and delivers each towel in just three seconds, reducing the user’s waiting time. And the dispenser has been designed to give out sheets of paper singly to avoid excess use, prevent run-outs and keep down costs.
Digital technology can further help to ensure that the dispensers in a busy washroom are kept topped up at all times. Tork Vision Cleaning allows the cleaner to remotely check on which dispensers are running low via ‘connected’ washroom dispensers. This allows them to top up the units at any time, avoiding run-outs.

Sustainability is a key priority in a conference centre where organisers will be keen to show off their concern for the environment. Delegates will be impressed on learning that the washrooms recycle their used paper hand towels. Tork PaperCircle, the world’s first paper hand towel recycling service, is a scheme whereby used washroom hand towels are picked up from a building and taken to local Essity mills where they are turned into new tissue products. Tork PaperCircle reduces waste by up to 20% compared with other waste handling options by creating a closed loop system for used washroom hand towels.
Another priority in a conference washroom is that it should smell fresh to provide a pleasant ambiance to reassure delegates that the facilities are clean. A good air freshener system will eliminate bad smells and create a good impression.
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.
The state of the washrooms has a significant impact on users of facilities such as conference centres. In the 2025 Tork Insight Survey it emerged that 50% of us have acted upon a bad washroom experience in some way, and that 20% of us would not return to a venue where we have had a poor washroom experience.
While delegates at a conference or exhibition may not always have the option of voting with their feet, the survey makes it clear that washroom standards matter to a great many of us.
If conference organisers address the key washroom priorities – namely, providing systems that are quick to use, hygienic, sustainable and that provide a clean, fresh impression - they will ensure that their visitors feel comfortable and valued.
