Eco-friendly & efficient innovations
28 April 2021
INNOVATION AND guaranteed hygiene have always been the focus of Spontex.

But today, the company's goal is also to disseminate and share our environmental commitment with our customers. Customers who, without wishing to renounce the effectiveness of the products, are increasingly attentive to their sustainability.
Mapa Spontex Professional are a worldwide leader in the production of cleaning tools and hand protection products, committed to offering an innovative service and effective solutions. With more than 80 years of experience, our expertise covers the production of tools for wiping, scouring, washing and floors.
We are present in more than 85 countries with 4 factories based in Europe, our products are manufactured in accordance with the most demanding levels of quality in the industry, which delivers reliability and safety to both our customers and our distribution partners.
As part of our corporate social responsibility initiative, Mapa Spontex Professional has launched a new green range of products for 2021. Our famous Sponrex range of bifunctional sponge scourers has been extended with the introduction of the new Sponrex 100. With 100% plant based, biodegradable cellulose sponge and abrasive top made from 100% recycled polyester fibres and walnut shells. This product is made completely free from additional colourants, further increasing its sustainable credentials.
This same manufacturing process, of using polyester fibres and walnut shells is applied to the Mercury 100 abrasive range. There are two products available in this range, the Mercury Roll 100 which comes in 6-metre rolls for cutting to size, and Mercury Pad 100 in standard industry size. Our new Mercury 100 products exceed even our own previous standards for scouring efficiency and tensile strength, lasting longer and cleaning easier.
Finally, MF Pro Recycled are our range of microfibre cloths, each made from 5 recycled plastic bottles. Effective against dirt and grease; available in 4 colours to avoid cross-contamination having used limited colourant to minimise their environmental impact, they can remove up to 99% of bacteria. Ultrafast drying, have excellent absorption capacity, wipe faster than other microfibres on the market, can be used with ethanol and have very good resistance to bleach.
This range fully reflects the corporate philosophy of social responsibility. Mapa Spontex initiative focuses on continuous improvement to develop more responsible sourcing, reduced environmental impact and improved social standards, supported by concrete actions with specific objectives set for 2025. Bertrand Genuyt, Mapa Spontex president & CEO, affirms that: “Manufacturing everyday products on an international scale is a huge responsibility and we must do our part to protect our surroundings. Since every effort matters, we make sure that our actions are focused on protecting our users, our teams and nature. Today, we commit to going even further by adopting a process of continuous improvement: 'Our Caring Actions'.”
