No need to wash or clean them prior to use. Clean-by-Manufacturing (CBM) - Zero-Chemicals - Truly Sustainable: By means of a highly automated and innovative sterile Clean room ISO Class 5 "sterile production" platform, Materni products have systematically 0 CFU (bioburden), hence the products qualify as sterile. By our CBM production process we avoid the use of toxic carcinogenic Ethylene Oxide (EO) or gamma irradiation sterilisation. EO is a black listed Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC). EO is known to a TMR substance and is prohibited in the food industry in Europe. By our CBM approach Materni avoids neonates and babies to be exposed to EO residues during nursing. Furthermore, we avoid hundreds of truck movements to and from the EO sterilisation plant every year. Hence we truely contribute to a more sustainable society.
