How the Textile Service Association and UK laundries are working to promote the benefits of prolonging the life of textiles

Regency are committed to prolonging the length of our textile life. Not only does this help us reduce and manage costs for our Customers but it is vital to reducing the huge environmental impact of textile production. Although we donate used but useable linen to charity and recycle wherever possible, the ideal is to prolong the life. Our team love this video made by the TSA and we welcome our Customers to share it with their teams. Together we can all help our luxury textiles live their longest, useful life.

Regency, part of Johnsons Service Group, is also one of the UK linen suppliers working with the TSA towards their Infinite Textiles scheme. This scheme aims to recycle textiles and recovered fabric is used to make new textile products. Using less resource than that needed to produce new fabrics.

“Infinite Textiles is a really exciting project,” says David Stevens, CEO of the TSA. “I am delighted that Johnsons Hotel Linen, Fishers and Clean are working towards this scheme already and expect to get audited before the end of this year. They will be the first of many laundry companies to be operating within the ambitious scope of Infinite Textiles. We’re very happy to be working with our members and other industry bodies such as UK Hospitality to make it a reality. It can make a big impact on Net Zero targets throughout all sectors of the economy.”
