Kimberly-Clark Professional is committed to leading the way to zero waste in landfills. That’s why we created The RightCycle^™ Programme—our industry-changing initiative that takes recycling personal protection equipment (PPE) and dispensers to a new level. Instead of used protective clothing, nitrile gloves and old dispensers going into landfills or incinerators, these previously hard-to-recycle items are collected at your facility and turned into raw materials used to create new products.
