Aberdeen Laundry Services has strengthened its reputation as one of Scotland’s sustainability leaders by becoming one of the first businesses in the textile services sector to achieve the prestigious Infinite Textiles Standard.
The accreditation recognises companies that go beyond compliance to demonstrate measurable progress in reducing environmental impact across energy, water, and waste.
In 2024 alone, Aberdeen Laundry Services delivered industry‑leading results, including:
- 26.25% reduction in total carbon emissions year‑on‑year
- 21% reduction in water usage intensity since 2022
- 38% decrease in waste sent to landfill
The business has also invested heavily in research and development, working closely with academic partners including the University of the West of Scotland, University of Dundee, and Heriot‑Watt University. These collaborations have supported advances in heat recovery optimisation, waste heat utilisation, and digital transformation across its operations.
“Sustainability for us is not a badge - it's in the DNA of how we operate. Achieving this standard provides external validation of the progress we have made and demonstrates the responsibility we feel toward our clients, our community, and the environment,” said Steven Burnett, group marketing and stakeholder communications manager.
The company emphasises that sustainability is not only ethically essential but also commercially advantageous. Its net‑zero roadmap positions Aberdeen Laundry Services as a trusted partner for organisations seeking both exceptional textile services and meaningful environmental contributions.
