Stand: 05.511
LESSEAU NO-Touch bar soap dispenser & refills The LESSEAU No Touch is the first automatic soap dispenser with sustainable bar soap. 100% free of (micro)plastics and vegan.
Jury comment: All of us on the jury were so impressed with how a very simple idea, a return to the use of bar soap in the washroom, has been reinvented and brought right up to date thanks to the use of some really smart technology. This is a product which we believe can have a very broad and truly meaningful impact in so many different applications. And although it won the category Sustainability & Environment, the LESSEAU® No-Touch Bar Soap performs so well in the other categories too in terms of its credentials in smart technology, workforce & ergonomics and hygiene & health.
Diversey- A Solenis Company has completely reimagined what is a basic, everyday activity for all of us - washing our hands - and presented a truly innovative new solution. And this is a system which has the potential to be applicable to other product areas.

XIBU 2WIPE hybrid
Company: HAGLEITNER GLOBAL HYGIENE GmbH
Stand: 05.213, 05.312, 12.426
World's first automatic dispenser for wet disinfectant wipes. The non-contact, sensor-controlled opening provides the wipes in a very hygienic way. The dispenser reliably protects them against drying out and contamination. Two contained flowpacks automatically switch from empty to full. Data are sent on fill level, refill requirement and consumption.
Jury comment: The traditional method of dispensing disinfectant wipes – from plastic flowpacks – is not ideal because the wipes start to dry out as soon as the pack is opened, resulting in much waste. Hagleitner has tackled this by developing a smart, sensor-driven mobile dispenser featuring a patented sealing system. Each wipe remains moist, and it never needs to be empty.
