1. Scope

To identify and define sustainable laundry best management practices (BMPs) which are used in commercial laundry facilities to reduce their impact on the environment. The goal in using this standard is to assist a laundry facility or an inspector in determining if a laundry facility is implementing the BMPs. The commercial laundry industry has made a commitment to sustainability. We are looking to further reduce our carbon footprint and enhance our environmental stewardship by developing this voluntary standard. Our goal is to encourage the implementation of these green BMPs at all commercial laundry facilities.
