Our Environmental Initiatives
Westport Linen Services
Water Heat Recovery
Westport Linen reclaims 95% of heat from wastewater and boiler discharge to reduce energy used for water heating.
Durable, Long-Lasting Linen
Many of our textiles are designed to be washed in lower water temperatures and can endure over 100 washings. This helps to conserve energy and reduce landfill waste.
Staff Uniforms
Westport Linen invests in energy-efficient equipment that reduces energy and water use while enhancing processing quality.
Fuel-Efficient Fleet
Our fleet is transitioning to more fuel-efficient vehicles, allowing us to achieve better fuel efficiency on the road and reducing diesel emissions.
Waste Reduction
We recycle all soiled linen bags to keep down the waste sent to our landfills.
