Switzerland
Zippsafe, a Swiss company, has reinvented
its lockers by replacing hard materials with smart textiles. The company now
treats its products with the Polygiene ViralOff antimicrobial technology.
The Zippsafe solution is derived from the
textile locker bags that can adapt in any size to the items stored and need
only 30% space as compared to a classic locker. The locker management is
digitalized using the Zippsafe Management System and the clothes can be easily
hung up using a pull-out hanger. The solution also offers integrated
ventilation, improves locker room hygiene, and also helps in reducing the risk
of contamination of fresh work wear.
The company has decided to move a step
ahead by using Polygiene ViralOff technology to maintain hygiene. It is a treatment of textiles that helps in
reducing micro-organisms by over 99% on the material. This technology was
launched last year when the demand for antimicrobial solutions grew due to the
corona pandemic.
The locker bags’ inner lining is made up of
two products- ZippSpace Pro and ZippSpace Regular. These two are now treated
with Polygiene ViralOff. As per the officials from Zippsafe, the company
decided to use Polygiene ViralOff once it identified the
benefits of antimicrobial fabric. According to Carlo Loderer, CEO and
Co-Founder, Zippsafe, this soft locker technology not only allows the company
to save a lot of space but also offers many other advantages. One of them is
hygiene. The possibility to wash the bags completely in case of heavy soiling
is another advantage. Last year, when the discussions intensified, the company
started to look for smart and antimicrobial textiles, and hence it came across
Polygiene.
