Kimberly-Clark Professional has launched The RightCycle Programme for the recycling of old dispensers and used hand towels. The scheme is currently operating in France, Germany and the UK.

Since its launch over 10 years ago, RightCycle by Kimberly-Clark Professional has diverted over 1,500 tonnes of previously hard-to-recycle non-hazardous PPE from landfill and incineration. This latest extension of the programme gives businesses the opportunity to transform the way they dispose of old dispensers and used hand towels.

The RightCycle Programme offers both a dispenser installation and recycling service. Kimberly-Clark Professional's fitters remove, collect and collate an organisation's old dispensers - no matter who the manufacturer is - and install new ones.

Working with recycling partners, the dispenser components including the plastic, cardboard and metal screws are transformed into new raw materials for use in new products such as car parts and children's toys."

We work with our customers to divert waste from landfill or incineration, The RightCycle Programme is designed to support organisations' sustainability goals and help position them as a company committed to sustainability and their part towards zero waste," explained James Hallam, global circularity manager at Kimberly-Clark Professional.

"Customers can display their green credentials with a Certificate of Environmental Impact Achievement detailing the difference they have made."
