Washroom services LCA

ETSA LCA compares environmental

performance of paper and textiles for

hand drying.

Textiles:

• use 63% less energy

• generate 48% less greenhouse gases

• generate 79% less waste

Energy and resource efficiency

• Today consumers are not buying to own, but to enjoy.

“On demand” culture is expanding.

• The general trend applies to rental textile services as

well

– Customers benefit from variable costs over fixed costs

– Customers can concentrate on their core business

Availability is appreciated over ownership
