Greener Linen Hire: Our Company-Wide Sustainable Strategies

We’ve been working hard to make our commercial linen hire and laundry services more environmentally friendly - read on to find out more about our efforts.

Working with a professional linen hire and laundry service can help to improve the efficiency and productivity of your business, giving you more time and resources to focus on what really matters.

But in addition to finding a company you can depend on to deliver this service, you may also wish to partner with an organisation that prioritises sustainability as part of its business model.

At Stalbridge, our sustainability strategy underpins all our work across the UK, where we’re making regular upgrades to improve our energy efficiency and reduce our environmental impact.

Read on to find out more about some of our recent sustainability initiatives that have been transforming the way we work.

Biofuel Vehicles

Biofuel has become a leading option for companies looking for a cleaner fuel alternative. We’re currently conducting trials of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel for some of our commercial vehicles, with HVO alternatives now in operation across Bourne, Southall, Shaftesbury and several other sites.

Low Temperature Washes

For both commercial and domestic laundry, washing at lower temperatures is a great way to conserve energy, where this adjustment can be carried out without impacting hygiene standards. We’ve been implementing this strategy wherever possible, ensuring that we’re maintaining high levels of cleanliness whilst reducing our everyday energy consumption levels.

Electric Fleets

In addition to investing in biofuel research, we’ve also been looking at introducing more electric vehicles to our commercial fleets. Successful trials have already taken place in Wexford, Naas and Southall, helping to reduce our overall dependence on fossil fuels as a company. This is a strategy that we hope to expand to further locations in the coming months and years.

Heat Recovery Strategies

Heat recovery is another effective strategy when it comes to energy efficiency. At locations in Birmingham, Chester and Lancaster, we’ve improved our boiler systems by recovering and repurposing waste heat from our exhaust gases, helping to reduce energy consumption and fuel costs company-wide.
