Wipe this

Is this clean tech?

Maybe not, but we couldn't resist writing about it.

The Polymer Group, a self-professed leader in the consumer and industrial wipes industry, today announced it will invest in technology to introduce an entirely new category of high performance, cost-effective engineered materials for wipes and other uses.

"As the industry leader in wiping products, the market looks to us to lead innovation. Just as we have done in the past, this technology promises to revolutionize the wipes industry," said interim CEO William Hewitt.

The company's statement says its new technology will offer a "better value proposition than traditional manufacturing methods."

Somehow, the wipes industry never struck us as one that needed a revolution. But what do we know?
