Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloth was nominated in the category “Sustainability & Environment'' and has been awarded a double-win: category winner and overall winner of this year’s InterCLEAN Amsterdam 2022 Innovation Award. “Sustainability has become a significant factor in customer choices,” said Anna Königson Koopmans from Essity. “The winning Tork Cloths are designed to maximize efficiency and deliver greater sustainability, while maintaining rigorous performance standards. We are proud to be the overall and category winner of this year’s Amsterdam Innovation Award.”
The jury stated at the award show on May 10: “With the development of this new cloth, Essity is aiming to reduce consumption, waste, pollution and emissions. The fact the packaging is made from 100 percent recycled fibers and at least 30 percent recycled plastics completes the sustainability picture for the customer.”
The carbon footprint of Tork exelCLEAN® cloths has also been reduced by 28% over the last decade*. In addition to our sustainability improvements there are upgrades that make dispensing more efficient. Tork Cleaning Cloths are now interfolded for easier, faster access. One-at-a-time dispensing means customers only take what they need, reducing waste.
Sustainability is becoming a significant factor in customer choices. Our products and packaging are designed to maximize efficiency and deliver greater sustainability, all while maintaining rigorous performance standards.
