In today’s world, sustainability is no longer a “good-to-have”. It’s a business necessity. Across industries, from hospitality to healthcare to commercial laundries, decision-makers are being asked tough questions: How much water do you use? How much energy do you consume? How are you cutting your carbon footprint? 

Laundry operations, often running behind the scenes, are among the biggest consumers of water, electricity and chemicals. For businesses washing hundreds of kilos of linen daily, inefficiency doesn’t just hurt the environment; it shows up in monthly utility bills, equipment breakdowns and even customer dissatisfaction. 

The answer? Green laundries! A new generation of industrial laundry setups designed to be eco-friendly, cost-efficient and future-ready. 

Why Green Laundries Matter? 

• Water Scarcity: A 300-room hotel can use over 850,000 liters of water a month for laundry alone. With groundwater depletion and rising water tariffs, traditional machines are simply unsustainable. 
   
• Energy Costs: Dryers and ironers are some of the most energy-intensive equipment in a facility. Rising fuel and electricity costs make inefficient machines a hidden profit drain. 
   
• Sustainability Pressure:  Being sustainable is both an image and compliance necessity in today’s world.

What Makes a Laundry Green? 

Green laundries are not just about saving water; they are about optimizing every step of the process with smarter technology: 

1. Water Recycling – Stefab’s AX Range washer extractors can be fitted with an additional drain valve, enabling advanced water recovery. Depending on the program, up to 70% of rinse water can be recycled through ETP and RO systems. For example, a 300-room hotel processing 2,400 kg of linen per day which would be around 72,000 kg per month will typically consume about 850,000 liters of water monthly. With Stefab’s recycling setup, such a hotel can save nearly 300,000 liters of water every month, significantly reducing both costs and reliance on external water sources. 
    
2. Energy Efficiency – Stefab’s advanced dryers with DRYSENSE technology moisture sensors and heat recovery reduce power bills by up to 20%, as seen in several Stefab hotel clients across India. 
    
3. Smart Chemical Dosing – With Stefab’s SmartSoap technology, up to six dosing systems per machine ensure accurate detergent use, reducing chemical wastage and protecting linen.
    
4. Automation & Control – Stefab’s MyHMI interface allows operators to set precise programs, ensuring no over-washing, no excess heat and better fabric care. 

Stefab Clients Leading the Way 

• Hospital Sector: Apollo hospital in Delhi adopted Stefab’s infection barrier washers with auto-dosing. This enabled them to have no manual intervention to put in chemicals in each cycle. This further helped them to maintain the cleanroom regulations and prevent the operators getting exposed to multiple air-borne diseases.
   
• Hospitality: Kumarakom Beach Resort in Kerala invested in Stefab’s high spin IoT enabled washers. This helped the engineers monitor data wirelessly from their desktops. Beyond savings, they now market their green laundry as part of their eco-conscious brand story.
   
• Commercial Laundries: A Mumbai franchise Cleanovo introduced Stefab’s DRYSENSE enabled dryers, which use advanced moisture sensors to stop cycles at exactly the right time. This helped them cut drying turnaround by nearly 20% while reducing energy bills without compromising on fabric care.

These examples show that sustainability is not theory; it’s delivering measurable business benefits today.
