A standout example is Tork PaperCircle®, the world’s first paper towel recycling service. Through this initiative, businesses recycle used hand towels into new tissue products, cutting carbon emissions by up to 40 percent compared to disposal or incineration.

Recycling from Waste to Resource

Tork PaperCircle® collaborates with organizations to collect used paper towels and recycle them into new tissue products, closing the loop on paper use and contributing to a circular economy. This service supports sustainability and helps businesses meet their eco-friendly goals by reducing their carbon footprint.

Going Beyond Recycling

Our circularity commitment includes sustainable product design, focusing on recyclable and compostable materials and sourcing certified recycled fibers. We incorporate renewable fibers to decrease reliance on virgin resources. Technologies such as Tork Vision Cleaning also enhance resource efficiency, allowing facilities to manage products and reduce waste using real-time data.

Collaborating for a Sustainable Future

Our vision for circularity is driven by collaboration. We work closely with partners, schools, and other organizations to share knowledge, develop solutions, and inspire sustainable practices that extend beyond our own operations. By fostering these partnerships, we aim to create an impact that benefits the planet and society.

Essity’s circular approach, exemplified by Tork PaperCircle®, shows how sustainable innovation can reduce waste and support businesses in achieving their environmental goals. Join us in building a greener, more circular economy.
