MEWA: Reusable cloths for impeccable cleanliness in industry and trade
In the face of the coronavirus crisis, hygiene and cleanliness requirements have taken on a new dimension in craft and industrial businesses. Long before the pandemic, MEWA's health motto was already: "Out with single-use, in with reuse and the circular economy." In concrete terms, this policy involves sustainable products, energy efficiency, optimized water consumption, the use of environmentally friendly detergents, and short local supply chains. The textile service provider MEWA has been adhering to this same guideline for over 100 years with its cloth service.
Respect for the environment and savings
Reusable cloths save time and money while improving company image
By supplying reusable cloths, MEWA contributes to the smooth running of businesses in industry and trade. The cloths ensure the cleaning and maintenance of machines and vehicles. For both small and large companies, the reuse system saves time and money. It also perfectly matches the increasing technical demands of production and new environmental policies. Finally, it helps convey a positive image.
« In 1997, we were the first company in our sector to obtain the international environmental certificate according to the ISO 14001 standard. We are also members of the European Textile Services Association (ETSA). This organization allows us to ensure environmentally friendly international development. Saving natural resources and reducing our environmental impact to the strict minimum are at the heart of our concerns. » explains Télesphore Loréal, Director of MEWA France.
The MEWA cloth service and its practical rental system
The MEWA reusable cleaning cloth rental system helps reduce waste. Highly versatile, it cleans everything that needs cleaning in an industrial facility. There are cloths for heavy soiling such as oil, grease, paint, or solvents, as well as cloths for the gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces. The range offers a wide range of uses in industry, automotive workshops, and craft businesses.
MEWA always provides companies with a suitable safety container for storing and transporting cloths. They can be stored there until collection, safely, legally, and without wasting space. Clean cloths are delivered in another hermetically sealed SaCon container. Dirty cloths are returned to MEWA plants, where they are washed before being made available again to customers.
« Choosing MEWA's full service means choosing a proven and reliable system. Companies always have the right amount of clean cloths available at the right time. This means they produce significantly less waste and conserve valuable resources. The competitive price compared to single-use materials is another important point. » Télésphore Loréal is pleased.
