Turning coffee grounds into a microfibre mop!

Every day, Coffee shops generate huge coffee grounds waste. Decitex’s partners collect this waste from around the world and recycle the coffee grounds as a yarn. From that yarn, Decitex has designed the first cradle to cradle microfiber mop made from coffee grounds. This innovation demonstrates unique benefits. The mop dries 200 times quicker than a standard mop and has natural odour control.

Guillaume Leymonerie, founder of Groupe 3E Concept has brought the two companies DECITEX and H2O At home, onto a new site based at Hallennes-Lez-Haubourdin (10 min from Lille).

This passive energy building represents a small concentration of innovation and is extremely environmentally friendly.

HEATING NEEDS ARE 3 TIMES LESS THAN REQUIRED BY CURRENT HEATING REGULATIONS

• The heating requirements of the building are about 15 kWh/m². year
• Those of a standard new building are about 50 kWh/m².year
• Those of an old building are about 200 kWh/m².year

AIR-TIGHTNESS IS 4 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT THAN CURRENT THERMAL REGULATIONS

• It’s as if there were a hole equivalent to the size of a driving licence that lets the air in
• A standard new building would have a hole equivalent to the size of a sheet of A4. 
• An old building would have a hole equivalent to the size of a sheet of A3

TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION < 120 KWH/M2.YEAR

• Total energy consumption of a standard new building  : about 240 kWh/m².year
• Total energy consumption of an old building  : about 350 kWh/m².year

New building in Romania

The Decitex Romania building has taken up the challenge on the production side:

• Respect for the environment in its choice of cladding and insulated roof panels with rockwool.
• Underfloor heating and cooling, with a reflective screen under the screed, that allows for a smaller low temperature consumption in winter. Auxiliary air conditioning in summer using textile pulsing pipework as well as suppressing draughts bringinig in particules. 
• Induction lighting for the production area, providing close to daylight quality 24 hours a day. Number of lux, UGR and RA specific for each stage of the operation. 
• Isolation of each space according to its function (loading bays-stockroom-production-administration-work areas) and automatic and independent control heating/air con/lighting of each zone so as to be in complete control of energy consumption.
• Work areas specially conceived for disabled personnel (Downs Syndrome) or reduced mobility. 
• Vegetable garden and organic orchard for relaxation and seasonal consumption by the team.

The CHITS (Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Toulon) in Toulon is an avant-garde hospital, always seeking to innovate in every field. 

This explains how this major hospital came to decide to sweep their floors with a dry microfibre and clean them simply with water with a Decitex cleaning system composed of Fluid and the Dispomop® 3D system. This technique resulted in a sustainable development whose object was to dramatically reduce the amount of detergents and disinfectants used by the hospital which are so harmful to the environment. With this new method, the hospital effectively recovers virtually 100% of its dust and bacteria.  This method has been the only one used by their resuscitation service since 2012. 

Samples taken after 2 years of use have shown that there has been no change in the level of bacteria either on the floors or in terms of the bacterial ecology of patients at the CHITS. Management has therefore decided to extend the method throughout the entire establishment (1200 beds) thus becoming the first hospital to clean its floors with water using a short use microfibre mop. The cleaned microfibres are identified by the services dept and returned after use.

On a day to day basis the advantages of this method are not inconsiderable. Above all, since microfibre is lighter than cotton, its easier to carry about and should also provoke fewer musculosceletic problems for staff. The floors dry quicker, which in turn reduces the risks of allergies and health problems associated with contact and repeated and prolonged breathing in of chemical products. The service has also decided to do another analysis of work related troubles with this new procedure in association with the hygiene, health and safety committee.

After a long period of innovation DECITEX finalised a unique concept for professional microfibre cleaning. The range, seen in all sorts of situations over many years, has been recognised and endorsed by French users who vote for it on a daily basis. So it would have been a pity not to let the rest of the world know about it!

Sweden, a pioneer in microfibre, was one of the first export markets to recognise the quality of the DECITEX innovation and to roll out the range. Countries further away like Australia - very committed to cutting-edge technology - have also become a privileged partner of DECITEX. The United Arab Emirates who are building the most modern hospitals in the world put their trust in DECITEX for their bio hazard cleaning. In Europe, English hospitals also use DECITEX systems whilst Germany represents our next challenge.  The Group 3E concept, already established in the USA with its H20 at Home subsidiary, gives DECITEX the opportunity for an easier roll-out by using a logistics set-up already in place.

The DECITEX range exceeds international standards and brings a degree of performance and implementation that makes for easy adoption. Access to information is instant with simple product sheets and illustrated user guides. DECITEX is well practised in the art of communicating its know-how to its international partners and keeping in touch with their users’ requirements on site.

Decitex is a company belonging to the 3E Concept group. The 3E Concept holding company brings together all the support functions: – finance, computer services, human resources and purchasing – allowing each subsidiary to concentrate on its core activity. Whilst Decitex designs and manufactures its microfibre textiles for the professional sector, H2O at Home, with more than 2500 advisors, distributes by direct sales into France, Belgium and the USA using a concept that brings together 3 types of products: 

• I clean my house without effort in record time with microfibre and water
• I scent my interior whilst preserving the air quality using 100% natural perfumes
• I’ve gained the time to look after myself by using bio certified cosmetics

The teams at head office, brought together in the same location in a passive building of 4800 m², develop various and complementary competences. In this way solutions to help smooth the everyday workings of the subsidiaries emerge naturally from the centre. Each subsidiary can therefore devote all its time and energy to responding to client requirements with ever more innovative products and services.

3E concept inspires and breathes life into the Group’s values: RESPIRE (Responsability, Enthusiasm, Simplicity, Perseverance, Innovation, Respect, Esprit de corps (Harmony)). These values are the basis of what brings us together and which create the harmony and energy that we transmit to our clients.

In 2003, Decitex was awarded the prize for innovation for the Dispomop® at the Europropre Fair: the first single use microfibre mop! Since then it’s been an amazing ride! In our workshop 15 minutes from Lille in France, the Dispomop®  leaves the production line at the rate of 60 000 per day. I production member is enough to recreate this miracle every 7 hours. 

How does one credit the fact that such a fine textile is able to clean operating theatres, resuscitation units, Fire and Ambulance service vehicles and even vertical surfaces in pharmaceutical establishments? Because the independent laboratory COFRAC gave us the scientific proof.  They rated the Dispomop® according to the Agro EN13697 standard and showed that it succeeded in eliminating 99,999% of bacteria with just water! 

Since 2003, the Dispomop® has proved itself by becoming the market leader. And because Decitex has been totally thought through, its packaging is only 15 microns and oxo-biodegradable Finally, the Dispomop® is the ideal back-up product in the case either of contamination or unavailability of the usual product and all that is achieved with no particulate release thanks to its seams sealed by ultrasound.
