Mops

Limit your environmental footprint for cleanroom cleaning

Compare the reusable cleanroom mop solution with single-use alternatives to lower your environmental impact.

By choosing reusable mops, you can save in one year:

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.

Elis offers its clients products that are maintained, repaired, reused, and reemployed to optimize their usage and lifespan. Elis’ conviction is that the circular economy model, which notably aims at reducing consumption of natural resources by optimizing the lifespan of products, is a sustainable solution to address today’s environmental challenges. The services offered by Elis represent a sustainable alternative to the simple purchase or use of products or to single use disposable products. 84% of the Group turnover (2023) are based on the product as service business model.

The LCA

Elis has carried out a comparative Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) covering the full life cycle of cleaning a cleanroom with a mop including mop production, washing, delivery and end of life. The use at the client cleanrooms is excluded (water, detergent, etc.) 
 

Disclaimer:

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. 


Methodology : ISO 14040, 14044, Environmental Footprint 3.1 method 

Database: Ecoinvent 3.9.1, ADEME and Elis specific data.
