Showing off green credentials

Two representatives of NHS Supply Chain discovered how Tork paper products gave NHS trusts a sustainable product choice during a visit to SCA's forests and mills in Sweden.

SCA's forest management is certified in accordance with the Forest Stewardship Council's (FSC) standard.

One tree in every ten in SCA's forest is left to become part of the natural cycle and to eventually become food for insects and woodpeckers. High stumps also provide long-term habitats for insects and bird life, and diverse plants are encouraged so that various species of insects and beetles can flourish.

Tork accounts for around 50% of the hand towels supplied to National Health Service hospitals via NHS Supply Chain.Tork Advanced zigzag towels are said to be the best-selling hand towel within the National Health Service.

This spring,Tork Premium Extra Mild Soap plus two Tork hand lotion products were included in NHS Supply Chain catalogue for the first time.
