Sustainable fibres put to the test

With up to 1,800 tonnes per year in Germany alone, disinfectant wipes also contribute to the waste generated by hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Therefore, switching to sustainable alternatives is inevitable, even for something as inconspicuous as a disposable wipe. But not every modern, sustainable wipe fibre meets the high standards.

The HARTMANN SCIENCE CENTER has tested various wipe fibres in detail and compared the following properties:

• distribution of the liquid
• interaction of fibre and chemistry
• tensile strength
• fibre residue on the surface
