Contec’s ReFIBE Wipes are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles making them a sustainable single-use option for critical manufacturers who have not had sustainable options in the past. ReFIBE wipes are exceptionally low in particles and fibers and ideal for use in any critically clean environment including Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Device industries. They are available validated sterile to the 10-6.
The innovative recycling process converts post-consumer plastic to 100% continuous filament polyester, the same substrate used in many of Contec’s polyester wipes and mops. ReFIBE wipes are laundered and packaged in an ISO 4 cleanroom. These wipes are compatible with a wide range of cleanroom solutions and disinfectants. ReFIBE wipes can be used in place of traditional polyester without compromising quality. Available in 9x9” and 12x12” sizes.
How is a wipe made from recycled materials?
