Kimberly-Clark Professional has introduced a new Cost & Sustainability Audit to help customers drive change using controlled washroom dispensing systems that bring savings in cost, time and waste and control over hygiene and resources.
The cost of living continues to rise and places more pressures on businesses, healthcare and education, with 46% of firms expecting their prices to rise [1]. Kimberly-Clark Professional’s new audit helps businesses identify how changing to controlled dispensing systems and sustainability services will provide more efficiency and reduce both costs and waste in the washroom.
“By requesting a free Cost & Sustainability Audit, businesses will not only see how much cost they can save in the short term, but over the lifetime of running that system,” said Craig Bowman, General Manager UK & Ireland. “We call it cost-in-use where we look beyond the price per case of a product and track the total cost of a solution in real usage scenarios over time. This is achieved by combining a consumable such as hand towel, toilet tissue or soap with a controlled dispensing system to gain complete control to deliver exceptional efficiency, sustainability and cost savings in the washroom.”
Efficiency and cost savings are achieved through rolled hand towel and centrefeed toilet tissue with single-sheet dispensing for controlled usage. Controlled dispensing across Kimberly-Clark Professional’s washroom systems delivers just the right amount of hand towel, foam soap or toilet tissue, removing waste and reducing costs. The high capacity, easy to use systems mean no more streaming tissue, waste on the washroom floor or unnecessary and costly servicing time and resources.
According to the company, the Kimberly-Clark Professional ICON™ collection features a high capacity rolled hand towel dispenser with up to 380m product that reduces refill times by delivering up to three times the number of hand dries per fully loaded dispenser than leading folded hand towel competitors [2]. The company also states that the Scott Control™ Twin Centrefeed Toilet Tissue System is the highest capacity twin roll design with 1666 sheets per fully loaded dispenser [4].
Maintenance time is precious and costly too. With intuitive visual lighting cues, 150,000 hand towel dispenses on one set of batteries plus a 99.9% jam-free performance, the ICON™ rolled hand towel dispenser delivers Kimberly-Clark Professional’s best servicing experience yet [4].
The Cost & Sustainability Audit enables businesses to discover how all washroom needs can be met by a combination of controlled dispensing with quality and sustainable products and recycling services.
Many Kimberly-Clark Professional hand towels are made with Airflex™ Technology offering superior absorbency and strength, so fewer sheets are needed to dry hands. The company states that Kleenex® rolled hand towels designed for the ICON dispenser use up to 33% less paper fibre per hand dry than leading competitor’s standard folded hand towels [5].
Foam skin care from the Kleenex Botanics and Scott Control ranges deliver up to twice as many washes per litre as conventional liquid soaps. Plus, touchless dispensing options with the ICON collection enables increased efficiency without forgoing hygiene which remains a top priority for facilities managers.
Controlled dispensing in combination with the RightCycle™ by Kimberly-Clark Professional Programme can provide closed-loop recycling of hand towels into raw materials used to create new products.
“The right dispenser and consumable working together as a complete controlled system can bring consistent and sustained improvements in facilities,” added Craig Bowman. “We have created the free Cost & Sustainability Audit to provide customers, businesses and organisations with control of washroom costs, time and waste through the right combination of products, resources, technology and services.”
