Product Update Essity UK Tork Hand Towel Products MRT199 and MRT226 (ICN 2877)

Change:

• The supplier Essity UK Tork has informed us of a product update with its Tork Xpress® Multifold Hand Towel products.
• There are two product codes affected:
  • MRT199 – Towel hand paper 2 ply 230 x 213 white Z-fold 190 sheets per sleeve non-returnable
  • MRT226 – Towel hand paper 2 ply 240 x 213 interfold white 237 sheets per sleeve non-returnable.
• The product update is due to the products transitioning to paper packaging; the new product Tork Xpress® Multifold Hand Towel has 100% renewable fibres in the packaging and product.

Impact:

• The affected product codes have now been delisted from our online catalogue and are unavailable to order.
• The new alternative product is now available to order through our online catalogue:
