Together, We Can Make a Difference

Did you know that each year North American healthcare facilities use enough plastic disinfecting wipes to wrap around the globe 58 times?3

Eliminating Plastic Canisters Won’t Solve the Problem Alone

The majority of the plastic produced by disinfectant wipe canisters comes from the wipes themselves.4

Pie chart showing plastic statistics: canister is 42% of plastic produced and wipes are 58% of plastic produced.

An Innovative Breakthrough

Unlike traditional plastic disinfectant wipes that rely on extracting crude oil to produce, Ecolab’s Disinfectant 1 Wipe with Plastic-Free Substrate is made from responsibly sourced and renewable 100% wood pulp fibers.

Biodegradation Test

94.3% relative biodegradation by day 15 compared to 0.6% relative biodegradation with plastic-based wipe substrate after 75 days.5

Wipe Away Waste

During a 4-week comparative study in the OR, one facility demonstrated a 60% reduction in wipes used with Ecolab Disinfectant 1 Wipe with Plastic-Free Substrate vs. the leading alcohol-based wipes – reducing both single use plastic waste and costs associated with disinfectant wipes.7
