Technology
Wood pulp, a natural material, is converted to a non solid form, reinforcing materials and sodium sulfate crystals are added. The mixture is heated, causing the cellulose to revert to a solid in a porous form of a sponge, which is then washed and packaged for sale.
Availability
Environment
Wastewater is cleaned to the extent that is meets all requirements for direct discharge into the environment.
State of the art, continuous operational controls are incorporated in each technological process monitoring operational consistency and hazards detection systems.
mission.
about us.
Sponcel began the construction of a cellulose sponge factory in 2015, and the first production started in 2017. Since then, we have been continuously modernizing our process, paying particular attention to the environment and workplace safety. Since 2017, the production capacity of the Sponcel plant in Bogumiłow has tripled, and today we can offer employment to around 70 people. The company continuously invests in technological equipment and plans further expansion of production capacity and warehouse space.
Environment and Innovations.
In our factory, we use many innovative technologies. An example is our own air emission treatment plant, based on naturally occurring microorganisms. These organisms convert H2S and CS2 into sulfuric acid and clean air. Air from this technological biofilter system removes contaminates up to 99% efficiency.
About the Product.
For Sponcel, product quality and environmental responsibility are joint and inseparable goals. We ensure this through:
- using renewable materials from responsible producers
- implementing recycling and recirculation processes
- controlling and reducing air emissions
- purifying and controlling wastewater
- managing operational processes in a way that minimizes environmental impact
The technology used in the SPONCEL plant is unique on a global scale. The process is controlled at all stages of production through advanced automation, and each process installation is designed to minimize negative environmental impact.
The production of cellulose sponges is a complex, multi-stage process in which the raw material, dissolved pulp (sourced from sustainable plantations), undergoes an intricate processing procedure, transforming it into an absorbent, durable product primarily used as a cleaning item.
