Contec’s ReFIBE wipes are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles making them a sustainable single-use option for critical manufacturers in the Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Medical Device, and Semi-Conductor industries. The revolutionary recycling process converts post-consumer plastic to 100% continuous filament polyester, the same substrate used in many of Contec’s standard polyester wipes and mops.
How is a wipe made from recycled materials?
Post consumer bottles are collected
Bottles are chopped into flake and cleaned
Bottle flake is melted, filtered and formed into chip
Chip is melted and made into yarn
Yarn is knitted into ReFIBE Wipes
As synthetic polyester, ReFIBE wipes are exceptionally clean and are compatible with a wide range of cleanroom solutions and disinfectants. Like Contec’s standard polyester wipes, ReFIBE is laundered and packaged in a cleanroom.Low in releasable particles and fibers, ReFIBE wipes can be used in place of traditional polyester to incorporate sustainability without compromising quality or performance.
Also available nonsterile.
