Clean without the Mess

Following the major scandals of the 1970s and 1980s, strict international approval procedures and safety regulations were introduced regarding environmentally harmful chemicals. But these are often very tedious. In addition, it is often the case that substances that were originally considered harmless do not turn out to be harmful until many years later. It is better to refrain from using such hazardous substances immediately. Thanks to alternative technologies, this is now also possible in industries in which the use of chemicals was long considered essential. A good example of this is the cleaning of materials and components in industry: Laser ablation is a “green” alternative that works completely without chemicals. The managing partners of Clean-Lasersysteme GmbH (cleanLASER) have already been honored with the Federal Environment Award for this development.
