Two PET (plastic) bottles are re-used in one cloth¹
Very high particle pick-up¹
Absorbent, excellent for spillage¹
Superior durability up to 500 washes¹
Reduces overall daily waste compared with single use cleaning wipes and avoids significant production of manufactured CO2¹.

Impact:

For the production² of 1,000 r-MICROLIFE cloth, an avoidance of up to 132 kg CO2-eq was calculated based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study according to EN ISO 14040/44:2006³.

The recycled polyester content the r-MICROLIFE is 33.3g per cloth. This recycled polyester content is made from post-consumer PET bottle flakes⁴. Such PET bottle flakes require less primary resources and energy compared to virgin polyester which is made from fossil resources.

At 10g - 20g per 500ml PET bottle, and an average of approximately 2 bottles per cloth, a total of up to 2,000 500ml PET-Bottles have been recycled in the production of 1,000 r-MICROLIFE cloths.

The avoided CO2-Emissions equal a distance up to 1,000 kilometres travelled by car⁵.
