The Textile Rental Association (TRSA) has recertified Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service Corp., whose six locations serve hospitals and health systems across the western US and Canada, as Clean Green, reflecting the company’s dedication to standards for operational efficiency and sustainability.
The certification quantifies linen, uniform and facility services’ environmentally friendly performance by confirming an operation launders within TRSA-designated water and energy use thresholds and verifies use of best management practices (BMPs) in line with the ASTM International environmental laundering standard.
Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service laundries are located in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Tacoma, Washington; and in the Canadian provinces of Ontario (Mississauga) and British Columbia (Abbotsford and Kelowna).
Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service earned the Clean Green certification initially in 2012. The designation is valid for three years at a time.
“I applaud Ecotex for their ongoing sustainability efforts and maintaining the highest standards in their production and delivery operations,” said Joseph Ricci, TRSA president and CEO. “Meeting all the criteria for certification is not easy, but the company is committed to industry-leading processes and technologies.”
