A patented tunnel washing system that utilizes superior cleanliness with a carbon footprint 99% less than standard industry cleaning methods.
Based on a study published by TRSA the average carbon footprint for industrial laundries (reporting on average 40% dust control volume) is 1.78 kg CO2e per m2 processed (based on weight 4.8 kg. m2).
Industry standard: carbon footprint associated with cleaning just 1 4’X6’ floor mat is 8.8 lbs. CO2
Carbon footprint of the CDF technology is a function of the relative emission factor per kWh.
Example: Ontario, Canada emission factor = 30 g CO2e / kWh. At 150 kWh per hour x .03 kg. CO2e = 4.5 kg CO2e per hour or .008 kg CO2e per m2 . (Based on 2,640 kg per hour).
Executive Mat Service carbon footprint associated with cleaning just 1 4’X6’ floor mat is .05 lbs. CO2
