Ecolab has launched Disinfectant 1 Wipe, the First EPA-Registered 100% plastic-free readily degradable disinfectant wipe complete with 1-minute hospital disinfection. The new product supports healthcare facilities looking to help improve patient safety and achieve their sustainability goals. The development comes from an urgent need to address the environmental impact of traditional single use plastic-based disinfectant wipes, which currently dominate the North American market and take hundreds of years to degrade once discarded.
On the sustainability side, the Disinfectant 1 Wipe boasts exciting degradation capabilities, reaching
94.3% relative biodegradation in a 15-day accelerated test, demonstrating full decomposition
into non-hazardous byproducts.
