Reading processing plant
31/03/2008
Reading is the last of the three new processing plants across the UK to be opened after a significant investment programme. With regional processing plants in Glasgow, Birmingham, and now in Reading, IWS have halved the trunking of laundered items like floor mats and linen roller towels.
These new plants haven't just contributed to our green credentials by reducing the road transport miles our products travel, but because the new technology we have invested in has massively reduced usage of utilities like water and electricity. We also reuse 80% of the water consumed in processing our products, and recover the remaining effluent to minimise the waste water and chemicals entering the drainage system. Additionally this new laundry equipment uses one third of the volume of cleaning chemicals to produce the same spotless mats and linen roller towels.
Service Delivery Director Stuart Childerley says “We are rightly proud of the infrastructure network we have developed over the last year, which Reading now completes. I am confident our customers will appreciate improved product quality, and the improvement to our environmental footprint.”
