High-tech laundry solutions

We endeavour to work with innovative suppliers to ensure our hotels have access to a range of sustainable solutions. One of those is a global hygiene, infection prevention and cleaning solutions company, which utilises advanced technology to reduce water and energy consumption by minimising the duration and high temperatures traditionally required in linen washing cycles. The supplier embeds sustainable solutions throughout its value chain by using organic acids in place of caustic chemicals, extending the lifespan of our hotel’s linen and future waste production. Since teaming up with InterContinental Shanghai Jing’An, the hotel is forecast to reduce its water consumption by 10 million litres annually. With the projected savings of more than 14,000 kWh in energy each year, as well as over 136 metric tonnes of CO2.
