Industrial wiping: Our responsible industry solution
Elis industrial wiping solution
Our range, designed for the automotive and metallurgy sectors, now includes wipers and Mastermat absorbent mats. What are they for? These products efficiently collect oils and fats, metal shavings, aqueous liquids and any other industrial residue. The wipers and absorbent mats are used in production and maintenance areas to promote a clean – and therefore safe – working environment.
Keep your costs under control while benefiting from a more environmentally responsible solution
Our service agents deliver clean wipers and absorbent mats, stored in dedicated packaging, and then collect the dirty ones so that they can be processed at our Apeldoorn plant in the Netherlands, which specialises in washing industrial wiping products.
This environmentally responsible laundry facility offers a unique service that combines the cleaning of fabric wipers and Mastermat absorbent mats, so they can be reused, with the treatment of recovered waste. Our circular washing process thereby enables energy and materials to be reused: waste is recovered, water is used again etc.
Choosing the Elis industrial wiping service means enjoying a comprehensive service with products that are always available right where you need them. It also means choosing a more sustainable alternative to disposable solutions, while simplifying your waste management. Our solution spares you the processes and costs associated with having a specific waste collector, as required by law. By taking over the handling of this waste, we help limit how much of it is discharged in the environment.
In 2021, in a bid to take this even further and continue reducing our impact on the planet, we implemented smart route planning, which allowed us to reduce the distances travelled by nearly 25,000 km.
Circular services at work also means being exemplary in our daily operations, optimising our practices, and limiting our impact on ecosystems.

The average number of times the wiper can be reused
A closer look at what makes our wipers sustainable
Every day, 200,000 wipers are cleaned and returned by our Apeldoorn plant, equating to more than 50 million units per year that are redistributed to more than 10,000 customers across Europe and Great Britain.
We conducted a life cycle analysis (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impact of our wipers compared to paper towels. The study found that using our reusable wipers reduces CO 2 emissions by 68%.
The LCA also showed that a reusable wiper replaces up to four metres of paper towel. This means that if your workshop uses an average of 1,000 wipers a year, you save up to 4 km of paper a year! Our reusable wiper is therefore 66% more sustainable than recycled paper.
