The savings in water, energy and chemical footprint are more than substantial. We also give perfect repeatability of the application, which is important when promising the >99% virus reduction of ViralOff” says Tobias Schurr, sales and marketing director at WEKO.“ViralOff is as much a sustainability initiative as it is a part of battling the current and future pandemics,” says Mats Georgson, CMO at Polygiene. “With ViralOff you can skip maybe 80% of washes – there is no “just in case” reasons. And that will save so much on the environment. Now with WEKO we can realize dramatic savings in the production side too.
