At Kimberly Clark Professional everything they do from helping people care for their families, to helping our communities and caring for our planet is connected to their vision to lead the world in essentials for a better life.

Kimberly Clark Professional is committed to leading the way to zero waste to landfill. That's why they created the RightCycleTM Programme their industry-changing initiative that takes recycling Hand Towels, Personal Protection Equipment and Dispensers to a new level instead of used hand towels, nitrile gloves and old dispensers going into landfills or incinerators, these previously hard-to-recycle items are collected at your facilities and turned into raw materials used to create new consumer products.

The RightCycleTM Programme is an innovative hassle-free 'closed loop' service that enables customers to drive towards their sustainability goals with confidence and usable data.



Hassle-free recycling

Since its ground-breaking launch 10 years ago, the innovative RightCycle by Kimberly Clark ProfessionalTM has diverted over 1500 tonnes of previously hard-to-recycle non-hazardous PPE, such as apparel items and nitrile gloves, from landfill.

Breathing new life into waste products. How does it all work?

Recycling your paper towels is as easy as throwing them away, with all the additional benefits to your business - and the planet.

The closed loop - Used hand towels are separated from general waste at the point of use. Hand towels are then collected in bulk and taken to an aggregation site for compression and baling. This is where the waste is transformed into a raw material (fibre) which can then be reworked. The bales of fibre are then transported to their mills where the fibres are recycled and used in the manufacture of new tissue products. The new paper products are created and sent out to customers.



Their recycling service will breathe new life into your old dispensers, processing the plastic, cardboard, and metal screws, and returning the raw materials for use in manufacturing new products.

They offer the world's first dispenser installation and recycling service. Their professional fitters will remove, collect, and collate your old dispensers - no matter who the manufacturer is - and ensure your workplace remains healthy, safe, and productive during installation. As well as making sure your new dispensers are loaded and ready for use, they will ensure your cleaning staff are completely confident in how to operate and service them.



RightCycleTM is an innovative and evolving programme, they are continually looking at ways that help them and you achieve more. Working together, they will support businesses in meeting the two main goals of improving recycling rates and reducing their waste footprint ensuring a better future for people, businesses - and the planet.
