2 Understand the Basics Reduce Reuse Recycle!!Reduce To use less of something!! Use less water/lbs of linen!! Use less btu s/lbs of linen!! Use less kwh/lbs of linen!!!reuse To use a product several times before discarding!! All laundries reuse textiles, they are Green" to start with!
3 Understand the Basics!!Recycle Taking products at the end of it s useful life and remanufacturing them into other products!! Grind down tires to make benches!! Recycle old plastic bags so that they can be remanufactured into new bags!! Aluminum cans, newspapers, cotton linens!
4 Creating a Green Culture!!Establish a Green Team!! Employee based work groups that will meet regularly to identify Green opportunities within the company!! Empowers the employees to take green responsibility in the day-to-day operations " of your facility!
5 You Cannot Manage What You Do Not Measure!!Start measuring your utility usage per pound!! Calculate fuel btu s / lbs of linen!! Calculate kwh / lbs of linen!! Calculate gallons of water / lbs of linen!! Create a report to track and monitor your progress!
6 Utility Report Snapshot
7 Utility Report Snapshot
8 Waste Streams!!Start measuring your waste streams!! Pounds of linens ragged out!! Pounds of plastic bags discarded!! Pounds of cardboard boxes discarded!! Number of pallets discarded!! Number of dumpster loads of trash picked up!!!sell any waste stream that carries residual value to recyclers ragged out linen, plastic, cardboard, pallets, scrap metal, etc!
9 Employee Participation!!Encourage your employees to be Green at work and at home!! Recycle aluminum cans, plastic, and newspapers!! Encourage car pooling!! Encourage the use of mass transit!! Encourage the use of programmable thermostats, window insulation, and hot water heater/pipe insulation!
10 Turning Your Operation Green!!Mechanical room!! Properly sized boilers!! Heat reclaimer!! Fix all air, water and steam leaks!! Stack economizer!! Vent condenser for boiler H 2 0 make up tank!! Proper insulation of all hot H 2 0 and steam lines!
11 Turning Your Operations Green!!Plant equipment!! Water reuse systems!! Inverter driven pumps and motors!! Operate plant on 2 nd or 3 rd shift!! Properly working steam traps on ironers!! Properly maintain equipment PM s!! Pressure switch controls for water volume!
12 Turning Your Operations Green!!Facility!! Energy efficient light bulbs and fixtures!! Roof Use sunlight reflecting materials!! Rain water cistern 1 of rain on one acre is " 27,154 gallons!! Install sky lights!! White paint on walls and ceiling to increase efficiency of lights!! Auto on/off lighting instead of light switches!
13 Turning Your Operations Green!!Office and administration!! Electronic billing!! Utilize conference calls versus face to face meetings!! Telecommuting!! Recycle paper and toner cartridges!! Go paperless and when you must print use both sides!
14 The Green Fleet
15 The Green Plant: The Fleet!! Transportation is a key element of the " textile rental industry!!! Significant opportunity to improve our collective environmental impact!!! U.S. EPA!! 27% of 2003 GHG Emissions came from transportation Industry in US (up from 24.8% in 1990)!! EPA estimates a 48% increase in Transportation energy use and related GHG emissions between 2003 and 2025, despite improvements in engine efficiency and technology!!! We can do more!
16 The Green Plant: The Fleet!!New engine technology in heavy duty vehicles!! 2007 Diesel Particulate Filters, reducing the impact of the emissions from HD vehicles!! 2010 EPA Emissions Requirements continue to improve the emissions from HD Vehicles!!!Continued pressure on the auto industry to improve MD and LD vehicle fuel economy, therefore lowering emissions!!!but this is not enough!
17 The Green Plant: The Fleet!!Logistics technologies!! GPS Tracking Systems!! Logistics management!! Fleet optimization!! Route optimization!! Driver performance!! Asset performance!! Delivery cost analysis!! Increase ROI!
18 The Green Plant: The Fleet!! Installation of GPS systems to aid in fleet management:!! Route efficiency = fuel economy (reduce out of route miles)!! Monitor braking efficiency!! Monitor speed variances, and set speed policies! "! (every mph above 50 mph, reduces fuel mileage by 0.1 mph)!! Promote use of cruise control!
19 The Green Plant: The Fleet!!Route optimization!! Reduce left Turns (3 min penalty for each left turn)!! Maximize delivery Windows!! Measure Driver performance!! Maximize asset productivity = reduced costs!! Reduce miles / kms driven = reduced emissions, and costs!
20 The Green Plant: The Fleet!!Fleet optimization through:!! Preventative maintenance on all vehicles to increase fuel economy, and lower operating costs 1.5%!! Driver training and incentives! "! Pre-trip and post-trip inspections! "! Regular tire pressure checks!
21 The Green Plant: The Fleet!!Reduction of vehicle idling!! Installation of APU (Aux Power Units) to help reduce excessive idle time!! Idling can cost up to 0.75 ga# hr (2.84 $hr)!! Also emits lb of CO2/ gal (2.7 kg of CO2/L )!! Every minute counts!
22 The Green Plant: The Fleet!!Enhanced aerodynamics improve fuel efficiency and reduce GHG!! Full roof faring 5-10%!! Cab extenders 1-4%!! Chassis fairings 1-2%!! Air cleaners 1-2%!! Aerodynamic mirrors 1-2%!
