ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

Tork, an Essity brand - specialist in professional hygiene solutions - has significantly expanded its carbon data reporting across its European product portfolio while delivering substantial carbon footprint reductions across key systems.

The company has improved carbon measurement and reporting by tracking carbon data throughout the entire life cycle from raw materials through each single product use to end of life. This, it says, allows customers to make informed decisions about the environmental performance of hygiene products across their entire facilities, from washrooms to foodservice areas to maintenance operations.

"For Tork, carbon data isn't just an environmental metric, it's a way we help improve our customers' business performance," said Lee Radzki, customer marketing sustainability manager, professional hygiene at Essity.

"Sustainability can be a strong differentiator in purchasing decisions, according to nearly 85 per cent of businesses. We look at the entire life cycle including efficient production and reduced energy use, lower consumption, less waste and smarter packaging. Our improvements become our customers' improvements."
