Plant Based Wipes

Eco-Friendly Disinfecting Wipes Built for Commercial Use

Zogics ecoPRO plant-based disinfecting wipes are EPA-registered and meet U.S. EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) product criteria. They kill SARS-CoV-2 in 30 seconds and kill MRSA, VRE, HIV-1, Influenza A, and RSV in 5 minutes when used according to label directions on hard, non-porous surfaces. The wipe substrate is made from 100% biodegradable, plant-based fibers, and the formula is derived from botanically sourced citric acid and is free from bleach, dyes, phosphates, synthetic fragrances, parabens, phenol, and phthalates.



For facilities with formal sustainability commitments or green procurement standards, Zogics Plant-Based Disinfectant Wipes provide a plant-based, biodegradable option without compromising on disinfection performance.



What "Plant-Based" and "Biodegradable" Actually Mean

Not all bulk wipes marketed as "eco-friendly" are EPA-registered disinfectant wipes. Some products may be intended for cleaning or sanitizing rather than disinfecting, so it's important to check the product label and intended use.



Zogics ecoPRO wipes are:

• EPA-registered: Registered as a disinfectant with claims against specific organisms listed on the product label
• 100% biodegradable: The substrate breaks down naturally, unlike synthetic nonwoven wipes that persist in landfills
• DfE certified: Meets U.S. EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) product criteria
• Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically to the highest quality and compliance standards



As the active ingredient in ecoPRO, citric acid supports the product's EPA-registered disinfecting claims when used according to label directions.



Which Facilities Use Plant-Based Disinfecting Wipes

Biodegradable disinfecting wipes are used across a wide range of commercial environments where disinfection performance and ingredient considerations both matter:

• Gyms and fitness facilities: For use on listed hard, non-porous surfaces. No synthetic fragrance makes ecoPRO a practical option for enclosed workout spaces.
• K-12 schools and daycares: The plant-based formula provides a disinfecting option for listed hard, non-porous surfaces in classrooms, cafeterias, and shared spaces.
• Healthcare and clinical settings: EPA-registered disinfecting wipes for use on listed hard, non-porous surfaces according to product label directions.
• Hospitality and hotels: Residue-free formula leaves surfaces clean without streaking or film. No synthetic fragrance means no competing scents in guest rooms or common areas.
• LEED-certified buildings and green procurement programs: The biodegradable, plant-based substrate and DfE status can support facilities looking for products that align with environmental purchasing goals.



Bulk Purchasing and Facility Sizing

A standard case of Zogics Plant-Based Disinfectant contains 4 rolls at 800 wipes per roll – 3,200 wipes per case. For a mid-size gym with 40-50 pieces of equipment, one case supports approximately 2-3 weeks of member use. Pair your wipes with a wipe dispenser for convenient placement throughout your facility – members and staff are significantly more likely to wipe down surfaces when a dispenser is within arm's reach. Wall-mounted, floor stand, and bucket dispenser options are available to fit any zone of your facility.



Best Practices for Plant-Based Disinfecting Wipes

The surface must remain visibly wet for the full contact time specified on the product label for the organism being targeted. Contact times vary by organism, so always follow label directions for proper disinfection.

• Use on hard, non-porous surfaces only (vinyl, rubber, metal, sealed plastic, glass)
• Keep the surface visibly wet for the full contact time specified on the product label
• Use one wipe per surface; a wipe used across multiple surfaces transfers rather than eliminates bacteria
• Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources
