The EU-27 industrial laundry sector
• 11.000 establishments (more than 90% SMEs),
   washes 2,7 billion kg of soiled textiles per year (wet
   weight) employing 168.000 workers and utilizing 42
   million m3 of wash water and 60 PJ of energy per
   year. It generates similar quantities of waste water,
   to be treated, and substantial CO2emissions (3,8
   million tons CO2/year). The annual turnover of the
   sector is 5,1 billion euro, which could be doubled if all
   disposable textile articles were replaced by
environmentally friendly reusable items. Focused and
   coordinated research to develop and improve
   innovative technologies can greatly enhance the
   performance of the industrial EU laundry sector. The
   conventional laundry processes are characterized by
large enthalpy destructions and resource inefficiencies.
