Find out more about the results
The figures come from the comparative LCA "Clean 1 square meter of floor with a mop" done in 2025. The LCA went through a critical review process in line with ISO 14071 requirements. Peer board was LCA and cleanroom experts.
Main assumptions:
- Reusable mops and wipes are washed in an industrial laundry to be reused
- Single use mops and wipes are only used once
- Number of days per year is conservative: 47 weeks per year, 5 days per week
Methodology: ISO 14040, 14044, Environmental Footprint 3.1 method
Database: Ecoinvent 3.10, PEFCR 3.1, ADEME and Elis specific data.
Steps analyzed in the LCA
environmental impact reduction
The results include the full life cycle from raw material to end of life, including the washing process for the reusable solution and come from an ISO 14040 and 14044 LCA that went through a third-party review.
