Tork Dispenser Promise

A large assortment of Tork dispensers offer hygiene, durability, innovative functionality, ease of use, and consumption control. As a trusted partner and the global leading brand for professional hygiene, Tork products improve your business performance through sustainable hygiene management.

Tork Carbon Neutral Dispensers

As of October 2023, a selection of 11 existing Tork dispensers will be carbon neutral. Carbon emissions will be reduced in production by purchasing renewable electricity in the production, and the remaining emissions will be offset with verified credits from climate projects. In addition, the dispensers are compatible with a range of sustainable refills.

Sustainable Hygiene Management

Tork refills work together with their dispensers to help reduce the impact on people and planet. They focus on key topics that matter to them, your business and your customers. From certified fibers to renewable packaging and compressed products, and from dispensers with reduced consumption to recycling pilots like Tork PaperCircle® in Europe. But they also focus on people by improving accessible and easy to use hygiene for all.

Some examples of Tork sustainability proof points:

  • Tork packaging is 90% made from renewable resources like paper and cardboard
  • Tork Easy Handling® ergonomic packaging
  • Several Tork systems can reduce consumption by up to 50%*
  • Reducing carbon emissions from raw materials to end of life with the life cycle approach

 * Tork Foam soap systems help to reduce soap consumption by up to 50%

Certified Renewable Electricity

As part of the plans to reduce carbon emissions for the entire life cycle, a significant reduction has been realized for the production of the selected Tork dispensers. All Tork carbon neutral dispensers have been produced using purchased certified renewable electricity from sources like bio fuel, wind energy etc.

Solar Energy and Wind Energy

Climate Projects

To reach carbon neutral, remaining carbon emissions have been compensated through investment in three climate projects with the verified organization, ClimatePartner. From supplying clean drinking water in Cambodia to protecting forests in Indonesia. And investing in energy-saving cookstoves in India combined with recovering plastic along beaches. These certified and regularly monitored projects direct resources to low-income countries to help communities mitigate and adapt to climate change. The climate projects contribute also to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
