In our everyday life, we all use some objects, such as eyeglasses, and high-end electronic devices, which have sensitive surfaces. These objects also can be such as smartphones, tablets and notebooks, which have to be cleaned properly when necessary. But who always carries in the everyday life all the necessary utensils with them for streak-free cleaning of these sensitive surfaces? Nobody does it.

Today, around 875 billion disposable cleaning wipes (sachets, wipes) are produced and used worldwide every year with ascending trend. The amount of disposable wipes produced in 2018 was over 1.4 million tons, accounting for a not insignificant portion of the total 400 million tons of plastic waste in 2018 alone. And these huge amounts of plastic waste are generated year after year. Which means that much of it ends up in our rivers and oceans, to the suffering of us humans, animals and our environment.

Over 4 billion people in the world wear eyeglasses, worldwide there are currently about 4 billion Smartphones, which is expected to climb over the next few years. Keeping these surfaces clean nowadays generates a lot of waste and is not done efficiently.

In this day and age, we are particularly sensitive to the issue of hygiene against viruses and bacteria. It doesn’t matter whether we are talking about the sensitive surfaces of our smartphones or notebooks, or the disinfection of our hands after unavoidable contact with surfaces in public transport, ticket machines, ATMs, elevators or shopping carts. We lack a solution for disinfecting sensitive surfaces and hands that can be used quickly, cost-effectively and efficiently at any time.
