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.
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 an ISO 4 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. Available in 9x9” and 12x12” sizes.
