Cleaner. Greener. LINA.
Environmental goals that go further.
Better laundry. Thoughtful choices. A lighter footprint.
At LINA, we believe looking after linen should also mean looking after the resources we use and the communities around us. We're continually looking for practical ways to make our laundry processes more efficient, reduce unnecessary waste and make a positive contribution.
Smarter chemical use
Using the latest micro-dosing technology, our chemicals are accurately measured and tailored to the type of linen being processed. Bath towels, bedding and heavily soiled kitchen towels all have different cleaning requirements so we use bespoke programmes and chemical combinations suited to each load. This helps avoid unnecessary chemical use while delivering the cleaning performance each item needs.
Efficient processing
Our recent investments in state-of-the-art machinery gives a more energy-efficient way to process and finish linens. Our ironer features the latest radial burner technology and is designed to deliver up to 25% greater efficiency compared with conventional systems, helping us reduce the energy required during flatwork finishing.
Better use of energy and water
Storing water and pre-heating wash water reduces the instantaneous demand on the supply network and limits the energy consumption and processing time in heating individual wash cycles. Alongside carefully managed wash programmes, this helps us make considered use of the energy and water involved in every load.
Reducing linen wastage
Not every item of linen remains suitable for hospitality use, but that doesn't mean it has reached the end of its useful life. Wherever possible, we donate stock that no longer meets our clients' needs to various local charities, helping useful textiles find a new purpose, diverting them from landfill.
Ten trees, every month
Treeapp is one of the UK's leading tree planting organisations, empowering businesses to plant trees where they are needed most. As a certified B Corp, Treeapp is guided by the principle: plant the right tree, in the right place - delivering measurable carbon sequestration, biodiversity restoration, wildlife habitat restoration and creating workdays for local communities.
It's a simple, ongoing commitment that allows us to contribute to tree-planting projects while continuing to improve the way we operate.
