Our Simple Switches to Reduce Environmental Impact

Here at Johnsons Stalbridge, we’re committed to running our laundry locations as efficiently and as sustainably as possible.

We have changed our processes and machinery to reduce our environmental impact significantly, without sacrificing the standard of service we deliver to all our customers.

Changes We’ve Made

We have reduced our CO2 emissions through a complete overhaul of our delivery routes and vehicle fleet. All our drivers have been given training on better driving techniques to minimise environmental impact. Not only that, but we’ve been transitioning a significant portion of our delivery vehicles to electric and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) models to further reduce emissions.

We’ve also substantially invested in energy-efficient machinery and techniques. In our machines, all of the detergents we use are biodegradable and with controlled, accurate dosing we ensure only the correct and essential amount is used in every wash.

Water Savings

We’ve now completed the permanent installation of groundbreaking water technology at our Shaftesbury site. This innovative system significantly cuts down water consumption and discharge - in fact, we've discovered a way to recycle a staggering 95% of water used in our laundry processes!

Since implementation, we've consistently maintained a remarkable 70-75% recycling rate for process water at the Shaftesbury site. Encouraged by this success, we’ve now introduced water recycling at our plant in Hayle and are gearing up to install a similar system at our new Crawley plant.

Beyond conservation, this system cleverly harnesses the heat energy within used water to subsequently slash our gas usage - further reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the intensity of which we’ve managed to decrease by 7%.
