Consider the Impact of Rental Shop Towels on Water Resources.

The U.S. EPA says industrial laundries discharge more than 13 million pounds of hazardous contaminants into the public watertreatment system every year¹ – and 80% of that comes from the waste water of laundered shop towels¹.

The contaminants include lead, toluene, xylene, zinc, and other heavy metals. These heavy metals have been known to cause cancer or kill aquatic life⁷.

Industrial Wipers have an Insignificant Impact on Landfills.

Industrial Wipers contribute an insignificant one-tenth of one percent of the nation’s land-filled waste². So, if you picture landfills overflowing with Industrial Wipers, think again!
Rental shop towels actually contribute 30% more waste, per thousand towels, to landfills than nonwoven Industrial Wipers3, according to an EPA study conducted by Lockheed Martin Environmental Services as the chart illustrates.
