At Daoust Ecoefficient Cleaners, we are aware of the current environmental situation and that is why we have decided to do everything possible to limit our impact. As a responsible and humane network, we are committed to respecting the planet and the health and wellbeing of our employees and customers. As part of our commitment to responsibility, we are concerned about our carbon footprint and have undertaken several projects with the goal of being as environmentally friendly as possible.
Zero Waste
We currently use biodegradable packaging but have decided to drastically reduce our daily waste to reach zero waste. We are progressively replacing this packaging with reusable fabric laundry bags and covers. We are also moving towards zero paper by sending invoices by email.
Better consumption
The technology we have developed allows us to reduce program times while maintaining the quality of cleaning and therefore reduce our water and energy consumption. It is thanks to this advanced technology that limits water and electricity consumption and uses biodegradable water-based products that we can stain, clean, disinfect and iron coats, suits, sportswear, and everyday clothes. We have also chosen greener energy suppliers (hydroelectricity and natural gas).
SOME FIGURES: We consume 10X less electricity and 4X less water than a conventional dry cleaner.
Always innovate
Innovation has always been at the heart of the group’s policy and is an integral part of our growth strategy. We have a Research and Development department that is constantly looking for improvements and innovations in our technologies.
We are currently working on two technologies. The first is an integrated water meter that allows us to know the exact quantity of water during each of our cycles and thus optimize our programs (more than one hundred programs are available).
The second technology, a microparticle counter, allows us to calculate the quantity of plastic microparticles rejected in the water per cycle. This raises the question of creating a filter to filter and measure the microparticles.
Daoust Ecoefficient Cleaners is committed to a sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility policy and to working towards a greener society every day. Reducing our waste is a daily mission. It is by taking care of our planet that we are able to offer a quality service to our customers.
