Laminating & clinell wipes vs paper use

Hello,

I'm a Speech and Language Therapist and in my daily clinical life I often use paper based resources for assessments. Some of the assessments that we use are frequently laminated (so as to avoid repeated printing and paper wastage), but we often end up using Clinell wipes for cleaning them with, which feels counter-intuitive because my assumption would be that a Clinell wipe has a higher environmental cost than a sheet of paper.

I sometimes clean the laminated sheets with paper towels and hand sanitiser, though even then the packaging of the sanitiser should probably be considered.

I tried to look for life cycle analysis of the various products. Clinell don't have it clearly published, though an article references it (though lumps it alongside gloves) and the company that manufacture Clinell appear to be planning an LCA for some of their products. For the hand sanitisers there seems to some relevant data already available. I could not find anything specific re laminating pouches.

I am aware however that such research is far beyond my usual skill-set and there are likely multiple other factors that need considering in the wider scheme.

It is possible that I am over-thinking this, but in our small department it is shocking the amount of paper we go through and I would guess that this dilemma is not specific to SLT and could have a wider impact. 

I understand that there are many factors that could change the 'weigh up' in my head (e.g. how many uses the laminated sheets are replacing over the course of a year, whether I tend to use the Clinell for more than one laminated sheet at a time etc), however I would appreciate if anyone had any insights or directions to steer me in.
