Operating in an industry heavily reliant on natural resources, CLS has taken a proactive approach to conserving the environment.
Using state-of-the-art water recycling and energy recovery technology, CLS uses less than 3 litres of fresh water for every kilogram laundered. In comparison, other industry operators use as much as 25 litres.
Then as a result of utilising a total plant water recycling system, heat recovery is achieved with water returned to the wash process up to 20 degrees (C) hotter than typical fresh water supply. Based on current volumes processed, such heat recovery saves more than 100 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year by reducing steam generation demand.
To generate compressed air for use throughout the CLS plant, variable speed drive
compressors are used incorporating technology that saves almost 30 tonnes of greenhouse gas emmissions each year when compared to full load compressors.
Whilst these environmental savings are significant, CLS remains committed to implementing more new technology and processes as they become available to further reduce water and energy dependency. Clean, Green, White linen is our aim!
