Greener Solutions for Controlled Environments
The cleanroom is inherently a challenging environment to be environmentally conscious. We use a lot of energy and rely on single-use items and additional packaging to reduce the risk of contamination events. It is also difficult to make changes when articles are written into SOP's or would require re-validation effort to change.
There are, however, a number of new innovations coming to the market now where the environmental impact is considered and every step towards reducing our carbon footprint. Whether that be through using less or buying better, it is a step in the right direction.
Contec
ReFIBE wipes are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.
Multilayered contamination control mats remove and contain dirt and dust from foot traffic and equipment wheels.
EcoBond® is a latex free recyclable version of BCR® cleanroom bond.
Concentrated, all-purpose cleanroom detergent is designed for use between disinfectant applications and for residue removal.
Revolve™ The new VWR® Class 100 sterile nitrile gloves offer eco-friendly features with 40% recycled packaging materials. Bulk-packed with 200 gloves per bag and 5 bags per case, they reduce waste and packaging. Their durable design minimizes frequent changes, making them a sustainable option for cleanrooms. These gloves are latex-free, ensuring worker safety and sterility while supporting sustainability goals in controlled environments.
The cleanroom paper offers eco-friendly benefits by minimizing contamination through web-cleaning on both sides and using low-particle polyethylene binding technology. It is certified for ISO Class 4 environments and packaged with reduced waste (250 sheets per pack). Its durability and strength lower the need for replacements, contributing to sustainability.
