Supply of Tork hygiene products to research base on Antarctica renewed – SCA

www.sca.com SCA is celebrating 10 years as hygiene partner of the Scott Base on Antarctica that maily provides services and accommodation for research parties. The selection of products and tissue is carefully compiled to help reduce waste and storage.
There are few facilities with the same extreme requirements as the Scott Base and its pristine surroundings at the very south end of the globe – on Antarctica. All supplies – from food and drinks to car parts and toilet tissue – are being bought and shipped in only once a year in January from Christchurch in New Zealand to the base.
Antarctic environment is also very fragile so no waste stays on the ice. It is all shipped back to New Zealand for recycling or disposal by the same boat which drops off the supplies. The base also has its own wastewater treatment plant so all products need to be highly degradable.
SCA’s Tork hygiene solutions have been evaluated and have performed in line with the requirements. This, together with strong sustainability credentials, has been the key factor for the partnership. The delicate environment of Antarctica dictates that the wider impact of man versus environment is closely considered at the base at all times.
“Using New Zeeland-made products from a sustainable and renewable source is China important to our operation of Scott Base, and SCA products fit well in this area. This had a significant impact on our decisions to continue to use SCA products”, says Michael Nottage, Procurement Officer for Scott Base.
