Essity's Tork brand now offerscarbon neutral certification on a range of its existing dispensers. This is achieved through a combination of carbon reduction and compensation across the entire life cycle - from raw materials to end-of-life.

The 27 models are produced with certified renewable electricity, and the remaining emissions are compensated with certified climate projects. They are now available in Europe.

"We are thrilled to offer a carbon neutral range of Tork dispensers that are not only effective in providing great hygiene, but also reduce the environmental impact on our planet. This new certification will help our customers to meet their sustainability ambitions," says Reneé Remijnse, director of sustainability communications at Essity.

Essity has already reduced the carbon emissions for the 27 Tork dispensers by using certified renewable electricity for the production. To reach carbon neutral, the company is now compensating the remaining carbon emissions through investments in certified climate projects with ClimatePartner. The selected projects reduce carbon emissions by supplying clean drinking water in Cambodia, providing energy efficient cookstoves in India, and supporting forest protection in Indonesia.
