Tork, an Essity brand and a global leader in professional hygiene, today announced that the Tork dispenser development process is the first in the world to be certified according to the Design for All standard (EN 17161). This approach aims to make hygiene in public spaces accessible for the majority of users. It strengthens the Tork commitment to helping businesses provide inclusive hygiene solutions in public restrooms and other public spaces.
“We are committed to making public hygiene accessible to the majority of users by working to eliminate visible and invisible barriers to hygiene,” said Kristian Grennfelt, Global Brand Innovation Director, Professional Hygiene, Essity. “Restrooms are the busiest rooms in a building, and when businesses provide public restrooms designed to meet the needs of many, it not only improves their reputation but also improves their overall business. In fact, nearly 90% of people say it’s important for them to have easy access to hygiene in public, particularly in the restroom.2 It’s clear that providing inclusive hygiene in public restrooms is good for people and for business.”
