In the city of London, where Net Zero targets are becoming a core part of business legislation, the laundry room is no longer just a place for soap and water—it’s a key battleground for environmental responsibility.
At London Premium Laundry, we’ve spent the last three years auditing every stage of our cycle to ensure we offer the greenest possible service without compromising on the clinical hygiene our hospitality and healthcare clients require.
1. The Ozone Revolution: Disinfection at 40°C
The traditional method of disinfecting laundry was "Thermal Disinfection," which required heating massive amounts of water to 71°C or higher. This process is incredibly energy-intensive. Today, we utilize Ozone (O3) technology.
Ozone is a naturally occurring gas that, when dissolved in cold water, becomes a disinfectant significantly more powerful than chlorine bleach. By using Ozone, we can achieve 99.99% bacterial and viral destruction at just 40°C. This saves millions of kWh of energy per year and leaves linens smelling fresher and looking whiter.
2. Low-Temperature Chemotherapeutics
Beyond Ozone, we’ve partnered with industrial chemists to develop surfactants and enzymes that are designed to break down grease and proteins at lower temperatures. These biodegradable agents are pH-balanced, meaning they don't just protect the environment; they protect the cotton fibers from the "chemical burn" associated with traditional high-alkaline detergents.
Why London Businesses Choose "Green" Laundry
London's corporate sector is under immense pressure to report on Scope 3 emissions. By partnering with a laundry service that uses low-energy chemistry and a ULEZ-compliant fleet, businesses can significantly lower their reported carbon footprint in their annual ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports.
3. Smart Water Recovery Systems
A typical industrial laundry can use hundreds of thousands of liters of water a day. Our "Closed-Loop" recovery systems capture the relatively clean water from the final rinse cycle and redirect it to the initial pre-wash of the next load. This reduces our total water intake by over 60%, a critical factor in preserving London's urban water resources.
Conclusion: Green Quality
Sustainability isn't about doing "less"—it's about doing "better." By using advanced technology, we provide a cleaner, safer, and more durable result for our clients while fulfilling our duty to the planet.
