CINCINNATI, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Textile Co., Inc.,
a global leader in the healthcare and hospitality textile markets,
is proud to announce the launch of its Take-Back Recycling Program.
This program underscores the company's commitment to sustainability
and environmental stewardship while offering customers a convenient
solution for responsible disposal of linens.
Standard Textile partnered with two of
their hospitality customers to conduct a pilot throughout 2022 and
2023.
"We are thrilled to introduce our Take-Back Recycling Program,
which aligns with our mission to promote sustainability throughout
our operations," said Melanie Boyle,
Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at Standard Textile.
"By partnering with our customers, we can make a significant impact
on reducing waste and exploring circularity with our products."
In its Take-Back program, the company welcomes back retired
linens that it then repurposes or downcycles into other products
such as carpet padding or automobile insulation.
To test the processes and efficacy of the planned program prior
to launching, Standard Textile partnered with two of their
hospitality customers with more than 35 properties across the
country to conduct a pilot throughout 2022 and 2023.
"We've always valued the quality product Standard Textile
delivers for our furnished apartments but being invited to
participate in the pilot of their Take-Back Recycling program has
added another dimension to our partnership," said Paul DeFruscio, EVP, Asset. "At AVE, we strive
to be best-in-class in our industry and that includes having
sustainable operations. Since we launched in 2022, we've together
diverted over 3,000 pounds of linens from landfills to be
repurposed or recycled into other products."
Standard Textile invites participation from its hospitality
customers nationwide, with plans underway to explore opportunities
in its other markets as well. While there is a minimal fee to cover
freight and processing costs, getting started is simple. Customers
can reach out to their Standard Textile representatives for more
information on how to enroll and how to properly return retired
linens.
