The speakers explained the science behind their advice and responded live to audience questions.<\/p>\n<p>Host Adam Fields kicked-off the summit with a session on the <strong><em>Science behind the hygiene benefits of paper tissue<\/em><\/strong><em>. <\/em>The speakers shared their knowledge and the results of their own, peer-reviewed research on the significant differences in dispersal of viruses and bacteria between different hand drying methods. The scientists were united in their advice that the use of single use towels to dry hands following hand washing, together with good ventilation, were the keys to maintaining staff and customer safety and limiting the spread of infection &#8211; even when there is not a pandemic at large. This echoes the latest advice from the World Health Organisation (WHO) in the May issue of the Journal of Hospital infection which recommends that alcohol-based products or tissue paper should be used when washing and drying hands at the point of care.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-39628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ETS_pr21003_PR-Post-Virtual-Summit_02-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/>The second track focused on the <strong><em>sustainability credentials<\/em><\/strong> of paper tissue and featured mechanical engineer and sustainability specialist Suhas Apte, and sustainable business development advisor and trainer Sarah Duncan.
