Quantum x Tork | Advancing Sustainable Washroom Solutions

At Quantum we are proud to be collaborating with Tork (Essity) – a global leader in professional hygiene, to deliver smarter, more sustainable washroom environments across the commercial spaces we support.

Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have” in washroom design — it is a core operational priority. Tork’s approach aligns strongly with our own values at Quantum, focusing on reducing environmental impact while improving hygiene performance and user experience.

Shared commitment to sustainability

Tork’s sustainability strategy is built around a full lifecycle approach, focusing on four key areas:

• Materials & packaging – increased use of renewable, recycled and bio based materials
• Use & waste reduction – solutions designed to reduce consumption and minimise waste
• Carbon reduction – investment in renewable energy and carbon-neutral certified solutions
• Hygiene for all – improving accessibility and standards across all user environments

This aligns with Essity’s wider commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and science-based carbon reduction targets already in motion across operations and supply chains.

Impact in practice

Through innovations such as:

• High-capacity dispensing systems that reduce overuse and waste
• Compressed refills that reduce transport emissions
• Carbon-neutral certified dispensers supported by verified offset programmes

Tork is helping businesses significantly reduce environmental footprint while improving operational efficiency.

Research also highlights that more sustainable washroom systems can reduce paper consumption by up to 28%, while improving hygiene consistency and reducing maintenance frequency.

Added value for clients

As part of this collaboration, clients can also benefit from free installation and dispenser systems on loan, enabling washroom areas to be refreshed with a clean, minimalistic aesthetic and no immediate capital outlay.

This makes it easier to modernise spaces quickly — improving hygiene standards, reducing visual clutter, and enhancing user experience through streamlined, efficient design.

Quantum’s role

By integrating these solutions into the environments we manage, Quantum is helping clients:

• Reduce environmental impact without compromising hygiene standards
• Improve washroom efficiency and cost control
• Support ESG and sustainability reporting goals
• Enhance user experience in high-traffic environments

Looking ahead

This collaboration reflects a shared belief: sustainability, functionality and design should work seamlessly together.

Together with Tork, we’re building washroom solutions that are not only cleaner — but smarter, more efficient, and future-focused.
