WYPALL* WIPERS VS WASTE RAG
For a healthier workplace
and a cleaner, more
sustainable future
Kimberly-Clark Professional* has earned a reputation as a
company that is committed to managing its environmental footprint.
Using an independently developed Environmental Comparison Model, we
have compared the use of WYPALL* X80 Wipers against waste rag and
laundered products such as tea towels, face cloths and Dorset
cloths. The information the model provides enables customers to
weigh up the various factors that contribute to a product's
footprint on the environment, giving them the ability to make the
best decision for their business and the environment.
These are the findings when WYPALL* X80 Wipers are compared to
waste rag:
59% less energy
is consumed by WYPALL* X80 Jumbo Roll Wipers during the
distribution and disposal stages compared to waste rag.

64% less greenhouse gas
is emitted by WYPALL* X80 Jumbo Roll Wipers during the
distribution and disposal stages compared to waste
