Environmental Waste Reduction Philosophy
 

AbsorbTech operates all processing facilities under the belief that Environmental Responsibility is essential. Textile products that are reused many times eliminate the waste created by disposable products and conserve natural resources. Through management practices and technology advances, AbsorbTech strives to drive down its consumption of energy, water, packaging and increase the life of the textiles themselves. AbsorbTech has obtained ISO 14001 certification, and our products and services have assisted thousands of customers who also value environmental stewardship.

This philosophy and the innovations and practices it fosters impact many facets of the industrial laundry business -- and those of our customers -- such as:

  • AbsorbTech's unique, patented process to recover and quantify solvent from soiled products prevents solvents from evaporating into the air or going into the sewer system. After recovery, the solvent is so contaminant free that it is a valuable material.
  • The products that AbsorbTech facilities process yield a wide range and large quantity of separated soil. With solvent recovery and improvements in our systems, AbsorbTech facilities generate no process related hazardous waste.
  • Waste oil from cleaning operations is processed to be a re-useable by-product. Tons of commingled industrial oils and grease soils are diverted from landfills or the sewer systems annually.

  • This high level of process control means AbsorbTech customers can have confidence the soil in their laundry will not come back to haunt them as a future liability.
  • AbsorbTech is recognized by federal, state and local agencies as being at the forefront of the laundry industry in environmental capabilities and is the recipient of many environmental awards.
