The goal of creating GS-51 was to ensure the availability of laundry care products that deliver satisfactory performance, effective stain removal, color fastness, and fabric performance while still protecting water, air quality, user health, and the environment. One additional way it is accomplishing this is be encouraging the use of cold water when industrial washing machine.
“GS-51 requires that laundry care products perform well using cold water,” she says. “According to some studies, as much as 80 percent of the energy used to wash clothes is for heating water. [Using cold water] not only lowers energy needs [electricity and gas], but can dramatically lower energy costs for correctional facilities and reduce the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere, which can add to greenhouse gases.”
In addition, GS-51 mandates that washer extractor be sold in concentrated and ultraconcentrated forms. This helps reduce the volume of products sold, which minimizes packaging and transportation needs.
“This requirement alone can have a significant impact on sustainability,” explains Chipperfield. “Fewer trucks are needed to transport the product, which saves fuel, further reduces greenhouse gas emissions, saves on the raw materials necessary in manufacturing packaging materials, and reduces waste.”
These manufacturers are often recognized as leaders in their industry. When it comes to laundry equipment and the volume of product used, this truly is long overdue.
