Cascades Tissue Group, Candiac, Que., Canada, this past week announced that its Antibacterial paper towel has secured a "4-Star" Environmental Leader Technology Review Score and has been named a 2013 Edison Awards Finalist in the Consumer Packaged Goods: Cleaning Solutions category. The paper towel was launched in 2010 in the Canadian Away-from-Home market and in 2012 in the U.S.
The Antibacterial paper towel provides a simple and effective way to further reduce bacterial contamination and transmission, Cascades notes, pointing out that it almost instantly kills more than 99.99% of harmful bacteria. By integrating a safe active ingredient into a dry format, the green-colored paper towel compensates for people's imperfect hygiene habits without changing how they wash or dry their hands.
"We are honored the Cascades Antibacterial paper towel is gaining such tremendous recognition among so many other great products and services," said Suzanne Blanchet, CEO of Cascades Tissue Group. "While our Antibacterial paper towel breaks new ground in terms of innovation, we're also very excited about the positive social impact it can have on human health. Without even changing habits, everyone can now help control the spread of bacteria."
