A London-based property company that provides housekeeping and linen management services is among Regenex’s latest customers.
Opago is counting its cash and carbon savings after turning to Regenex to get the most out of all items.
So far the company, which buys, lets and manages a range of property types, has sent four loads of heavily stained towels and bed linen, that could not be cleaned conventionally, to Regenex for processing.
Regenex’s gentle multi-bath treatment, rooted in textile chemistry knowhow, was a great success. Almost three quarters of items – 73 per cent of the consignment weight – has been returned in pristine white condition to grace many more beds and bathrooms.
The pieces, weighing 3.3 tonnes in total, would otherwise have been condemned to landfill or rag, wasting stock and money.
The results have delighted managers at Opago, as treatment has avoided the cost of unnecessary top-up stock and the environmental toll of discarding linen too early in its lifecycle.
Opago, established since 2020, is a leading provider of flexible rentals and full management solutions.
Monika Detka, Head of Field Operations at Opago, said: “We take our carbon emissions seriously and work hard to operate as efficiently and effectively as we can, to achieve the best value possible for our many and varied clients.
“Working with Regenex is just one way that we conserve stock and resources. We’re delighted with the results so far and we will be back with more rejected stock as we have it.”
Paul Hamilton, Technical Director at Regenex, commented: “Opago have been a pleasure to get to know and work with. The team there are very savvy and switched on, and understand how careless habits with linen can add up to needless costs, in both carbon and financially. We look forward to working together again and achieving more.”
