Special viscose fibers reduce environmental impact
For the wipe material of the mikrozid® universal wipes* green line maxi schülke uses VEOCELTM fibers. The raw material wood, which forms the basis of the fibers, comes from controlled and sustainably managed forests and plantations. The high quality of the fibers with very good liquid distribution and excellent absorbency is achieved through a strictly applied manufacturing process with a particularly low environmental impact, which enables the complete elimination of fossil-based synthetic fibers.
