It’s a win for washroom sustainability!
At Avanti, we make no secret of our desire to help our customers more sustainable facilities management, as well as clean and safe spaces for their staff and customers.
So, we are really glad to be able to share the latest innovation from one of our key suppliers, Essity: compressed hand towel bundles for the Tork Xpress Multifold range. This groundbreaking product can seriously enhance your sustainable facilities management, not just boosting the efficiency and reducing the carbon emissions of transport but reducing the carbon footprint of your own washrooms.
Double the capacity, half the hassle
Tork's new compressed hand towels are a game-changer for businesses looking for those small changes that add up to big business and environmental benefits.
These towels are 50% compressed, allowing dispensers to hold twice as many towels as before. This means that washrooms can serve double the number of customers or users before needing a refill, reducing the frequency of restocking and saving valuable time for cleaning staff as well. This is a smart switch that can really help maintain an efficient washroom resupply routine.
Less waste, greener transportation
The unique compression technology used in manufacturing these hand towels removes excess air from the bundles, meaning they need up to 27% less packaging material. This not only reduces waste but also enables transport vehicles to carry nearly twice as many towel bundles per trip, significantly cutting down on carbon emissions.
This innovation aligns perfectly with our mission at Avanti to support our customers in making more sustainable choices in their facilities management practices.
Optimal storage, more sustainable facilities
One of the standout benefits of Tork's compressed hand towels is the optimisation of storage space. Sites can now store double the quantity of handtowels in the same storage space – using their capacity more cleverly here, as well as in their Tork Xpress hand towel dispensers. This is particularly beneficial for smaller facilities and businesses without dedicated on-site facility managers, as it reduces the need for frequent inventory checks and resupply!
Farewell overloaded cleaning trolleys!
It may sound trivial, but for janitors and cleaners who need to transport a huge range of supplies and cleaning products as they move around a facility, this matters: the compact size of the compressed bundles makes handling more efficient too. Cleaners can stack twice as many hand towels on a cleaning trolley, and halve the number of times they must refill dispensers.
Enhancing sustainability with Tork and Avanti
At Avanti, we are not just excited about the immediate benefits that Tork's compressed hand towels offer our customers but also about the broader implications. We ship out huge quantities of Tork paper products to our customers around the country. By reducing the need for frequent deliveries and cutting down on packaging materials, these hand towels could help driver a lower carbon footprint and a more sustainable supply chain for our own company too.
This feels good to us, because our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the products we offer. Avanti is dedicated to its own sustainability journey, striving to achieve net-zero emissions and promoting sustainable practices throughout our operations. We believe that by providing our customers with innovative products like Tork's compressed hand towels, we are empowering them to join us on this journey towards a more sustainable future.
