Sontara®
Sustainable Wipes

Wipes made with recycled and plastic free materials, where sustainability meets Sontara® performance

One range.
Endless options.

Discover the industry’s widest portfolio of sustainable wipes. Manufactured locally in our European and U.S. sites with plastic-free and recycled materials, Sontara’s sustainable range combines trusted performance with a lower environmental footprint.

Made using proprietary Sontara® technology, this portfolio offers sustainable alternatives that perform just as effectively as your trusted standard Sontara® wipes. Thanks to Sontara’s unique hydroentangling process, fibres are entangled by water jets rather than adhesives or binders, resulting in wipes that are highly absorbent, strong and low linting.

    Sustainable

    Sustainable

    Wipes made with plastic-free, recycled materials, and with a lower carbon footprint, without compromising performance.

    Low cost in use

    Cost-effective

    Sustainability doesn’t have to come at a premium. We've worked to make this range accessible, while providing you with high performing wipes to help you use less.

    High Absorbency

    High Absorbency

    Sontara wipes soak up to 8x their weight in water, and also absorb oils and solvents. They absorbe quickly for a wipe-dry effect.

    Solvent resistant

    High Strength

    Sontara's hydroentangling technology results in a super strong fabric without the use of binders or adhesives.

    Low Linting

    Low Linting

    Leaves behind virtually none of the lint you get with paper and has no additives to contaminate surfaces.

    Food contact certified

    Food Contact Certified

    Sontara EC® Green, EC® Green Natural and TriFlo Green are FCC certified for safe use in food contact surfaces.
