SUSTAINABILITY

ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

ILUNION Lavanderías has generated 490,185 KWh from solar photovoltaic panels for self-consumption in 2020, avoiding 92,917 Kg CO2 of emissions. The Textil Rental, Crisol, Las Palmas and Tenerife laundries all have solar photovoltaic panels.

ILUNION Lavanderías plans to install solar photovoltaic panels in several other laundries by 2023. Our objective is to generate 15 % of our energy needs from solar photovoltaic energy

As for our decarbonisation plan, our goal is to supply 32 % of our energy needs using solar photovoltaic energy by 2023 and we have expanded the capacity of the Textil Rental photovoltaic plant by 132 kWp to reach 260 kWp.

The tunnel washer a Lavendería Industrial ILUNION Seville has been replaced to reduce energy consumption in the washing process by 27 % and SMART Ventury steam traps have been installed at

Lavandería industrial ILUNION ILUNION Mejorada and  Lavandería industrial ILUNION Huete to reduce steam loss and minimise replacement costs.

 

Finally, the operation to change the lighting at ILUNION Lavanderías is now complete and all laundries now have a self-regulating LED 4.0 lighting system equipped with the most efficient lights on the market designed exclusively for ILUNION.

WASTE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

ILUNION Lavanderías has generated 490,185 KWh from solar photovoltaic panels for self-consumption in 2020, avoiding 92,917 Kg CO2 of emissions. The Sonseca nursing home, the Textil Rental ILUNION laundries, the Lavandería Industrial ILUNION Crisol in Las Palmas Lavandería Industrial ILUNION in Tenerife are equipped with solar photovoltaic plants.

At ILUNION Lavanderías, we have reduced our plastic consumption by 211 tons by using reusable bags. We have begun to use recycled plastic for packaging, obtaining the MORE seal and Blue Angel certification for products with a low environmental impact throughout their life cycle.

When it comes to water management, we’ve launched a pilot plant to identify the best method for purifying wastewater from our industrial laundries to reduce our environmental impact.

We’ve also taken action to optimise our use of water in the washing process by carrying out preventive and corrective maintenance on our equipment and improving water quality by adjusting the doses of chemical products that we use.
