Ha-Ra® and the Environment

Ha-Ra® - faster and cleaner than the professionals and environmentally sound!

Thanks to the effectiveness of the mechanical-physical function of the Ha-Ra fibres, you will save more than 95% of the cost of the cleaning products that you currently purchase, both in the home and in industrial situations.

Millions of people all over the world are beginning to realise that Ha-Ra® products not only cost effective, they are also environmentally sound and work faster, more effectively and with less mess than most cleaning products.

When your Ha-Ra® cloths and gloves eventually wear out, return them to us so that we can dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.

Ha-Ra® also conducts successful research in the area of purification for bodies of water. With a very large financial investment, Ha-Ra has developed an industrial waste cleaning system which will ease the burden on our water treatment plants and wastewater.

Not only the first in the world, but also recognised as being a world leader
and an environmentally friendly company!
