80 Jahre Christeyns: Rückblick und Vorausschau mit CEO Alain Bostoen
Ist der Einsatz von enzymatischen Reinigungsmitteln in der Lebensmittelindustrie eine Alternative?
Innovation und die Entwicklung neuer Hygieneprodukte für die Lebensmittelindustrie bieten neue Lösungen für die Reinigung und Desinfektion und verbessern so die Sicherheit, Effizienz und Nachhaltigkeit dieser Prozesse. Die Innovation im Bereich der Reinigung und Desinfektion erforscht die Anwendbarkeit und Leistung neuer Technologien wie Enzyme, Proteine, die als Biokatalysatoren fungieren (beschleunigen chemische Reaktionen wie die Hydrolyse […]
One health – To be part of a greater whole
One Health is defined by the World Health Organisation as an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, domestic and wild animals, plants and the wider environment (including ecosystems). It recognises that our human health cannot be separated from all other living things on Earth, which are intimately […]
Solid cosmetics: Beauty in a bar
Sustainability has become a driving force in consumer behaviour in this century. At least 65% of consumers want to make the right consumption choices to live healthier and more sustainable lives. While there is no consensus on a single definition of sustainable consumption, we can think of it in terms of several dimensions: environmental sustainability, […]
Weltimpfwoche: Wie Impfstoffe unsere Welt prägen
Jedes Jahr findet in der letzten Aprilwoche die Weltimpfwoche statt. Das kommt nicht von ungefähr. Es fällt mit dem Jahrestag der Gründung der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) am 7. April 1948 zusammen. Ziel dieser Aktionswoche ist es, kollektive Maßnahmen zum Schutz der Menschen vor durch Impfung vermeidbaren Krankheiten hervorzuheben. Impfungen tragen dazu bei, Kinder, Erwachsene und ihre […]
Cosmetics Manufacturing 2024: Overcoming the Challenges Ahead
The cosmetics industry is one of the most dynamic in the world today, with constant challenges to develop novel and inventive formulations, deliver continuous innovation and ensure superior product tolerability. Manufacturers in the cosmetics industry face several challenges. The market is fast-paced and demanding, driven by a constant quest for innovation and evolving consumer preferences. […]
Yes, you can avoid spreading the seasonal flu!
Seasonal influenza, more commonly known as the flu, is an infection of the respiratory tract caused by influenza viruses. It occurs in all regions of the world. Influenza A viruses, further divided into subtypes based on surface proteins, are the most common influenza viruses. Subtypes A (H1N1) and A (H3N2) are currently circulating in the […]
About healthcare-associated infection (HAI)
Everyone has heard of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), but most people don’t know exactly what they are, so it’s important to start with a definition. HAIs are infections that patients acquire while in hospital or other healthcare settings. While some infections are easily treated, others can have a significant impact on a patient’s well-being, prolonging their […]
What you need to know about polyquaterniums stains
Polyquaternium stains are a persistent issue for commercial laundries. The culprit is a conditoning ingredient called polyquaternium-7. This polymer sticks to fabrics and causes non-removable dark stains. As a result, laundries face the cost of frequent textile replacement costs. This blog post’s aim is to help understand and address this issue, and find effective ways […]
Sunscreen stains, one of the hidden costs in laundries
Sunscreen is essential in protecting the skin from the harmful rays of summer. Unfortunately, most sunscreens tend to cause yellow-orange stains on textile, which are difficult to remove. As a result, normal washing cycles are no longer effective and laundries are confronted with a high percentage of rewash and a significant increase in processing costs. […]
Cut energy costs through heat recovery
Waste heat recovery is a significant opportunity for laundries to improve efficiency and reduce energy bills. Many commercial laundries are turning to such heat recovery systems to capture the thermal energy from waste heat and re-use it to preheat freshwater or incoming air efficiently. The most common heat exchanger systems that meet the specific requirements […]
Coole Lösung für PSA verlängert die Lebensdauer von Textilien
Eine aktuelle Studie in Europa hat gezeigt, dass das Segment der persönlichen Schutzausrüstung (PSA) im Gesamtmarkt für textile Mietdienstleistungen schnell wächst. Grund dafür, das zunehmende öffentliche Interesse an Risikoprävention. Seiner Rolle als Innovator gerecht werdend, ist Christeyns bereits 2016 auf diesen Zug aufgesprungen: mit der Einführung seines „Cool Chemistry für Berufsbekleidung“ – Konzepts als Waschreferenz […]
Escherichia Coli: characteristics, pathogenicity and prevention
Escherichia coli bacterium was initially isolated and described by the German pediatrician Escherich in 1885, who proved its existence as a regular host in the intestine. He named it Bacterium coli commune, which can be translated as „common colon bacteria“. In 1919 Castellani and Chalmers gave it its definitive name in homage to Escherich. Escherichia quickly became […]
