The University of Mannheim is launching a new recycling program for sustainable towel paper: “TorkPaperCircle” aims to save up to 40 percent of the CO2 produced by waste at the university in the future.

Used paper towels are collected separately in the sanitary facilities and 98% of them are recycled into new towel paper. The new towel paper dispensers required for this will be installed gradually over the next few weeks. The old dispensers will also be recycled. You can find more information about the recycling process here.

Important: In future, only paper from the dispensers may be disposed of in the wire baskets for used towel paper. Extra garbage cans will continue to be provided for other waste.
