2. Sustainable processing What is the aim of textile service ?

Making a dirty and worn piece of garment ready and fit for re-

use again by :

• Removing soil and dirt

• Removing crease and wrinkles

• Bringing the garment back into shape

• Bring it back to the as-new state!

2. Sustainable processing This results in the following life cycle of a garment:

Produc-

tion

Use

Waste

Launde- ring



2. Sustainable processing Conclusion:

The textile service industry offers the end-user the possibility

to recycle its textile products without the loss of

functionality!

The cleaning step enables a much longer lifetime of the

textile products

Only eventually, after a series of cleaning cycles, the textile

products will be worn-out and must be disposed of.

Best practices in textile care

• Good housekeeping and best practices are

necessary for optimal processing in textile care.

• Modern equipment alone is not enough.

16

2. Sustainable processing




• Minimizing solvent emissions to the atmosphere

• Examples of good-housekeeping measures to prevent

excess emission are :

• In-time replacement of active carbon filters

• If necessary, adapt drying time to the cleaned

garments. Thick garments do need extra drying

time (e.g. velvet curtains)

• Avoid overloading of the machine

• Proper maintenance and control of the machine

(e.g. of the deep-cooling-system)

17





Examples of measures to minimize solvent emissions to

the water:

• Contact water collection by specialized waste

company

• Contact water treatment on site

18





Minimizing risk of soil contamination : The major measures to prevent soil contamination are a liquid impermeable floor in the dry cleaning shop or the use of a leak collector in which the solvent dry cleaning machine is placed. This will prevent leakage of solvent from the machine into the soil.

19




Textile service vs. domestic laundering

In 2010- 2011, TKT and TNO (an independent Dutch institute

for applied science) performed a research project to

compare the energy consumption of professional textile

service to that of domestic laundering.

For this project, representative processes for as well industrial

laundering as domestic laundering were selected.

Work wear for industry and health care were selected as case.

20





In domestic laundering, the energy consumption is a strong

function of the washing temperature and the use of a tumble

dryer:

• Comparison of the environmental burden of a number of

professional textile cleaning technologies with that of domestic

laundering.

•

• The comparison was executed by TNO, an independent Dutch

research institute, and TKT .

• Last year the comparison was performed with HCS, perc and

professional wet cleaning. In 2011-2012, the comparison was

expanded to other cleaning technologies

2


Textile care vs. domestic laundering




Professional cleaning technologies included:

•Perc

•HCS

•i-pura HCS

•Siloxane D5 (GreenEarth)

•i-pura Siloxane D6

•Solvon K4

•Professional wet cleaning •Rynex E3

2




Procedure :

• Comparing the different aspects of environmental burden

is like comparing apples and oranges.

• To solve this problem, the method of the shadow costs (in

€) for all environmental aspects included is applied.

• The input is based on experimental results (e.g. energy

consumption) and literature data.

3. Benchmark studies Textile care vs. domestic laundering



Conclusion

The environmental burden of domestic laundering is

up to 2-3 times higher that the environmental

burden of professional textile cleaning.

Recenty, TKT performed a benchmark study on the cleaning

performance of modern solvents. The study was executed

using a representative blend of garments in production

machinery in cleaning shops.

The main chosen performance parameters were:

1. Stain removal (using model stains)

2. Greying of model cloths (redeposition)

3. Shrinkage of cotton and wool

4. Roughening/wrinkling of the test items

33


Solvetex II



The test set of garments existed of:

1. A black men’s suit (wool 88%, PA 8%, elasthane 4%)

2. A ladies’ skirt (PES 43%, wool 30%, viscose 6%, PA 3%

and PAC 18%)

3. A tie (100% silk)

4. A sweater (100 % wool)

5. Test cloths for shrinkage (wool and cotton)

6. Test cloths for greying

34


Solvetex II



The solvent technologies tested :

1. Perc

2. Hydrocarbons (HCS)

3. Siloxane D5 (GreenEarth)

4. Professional Wet Cleaning (WetClean)

5. Liquid CO2

6. Dibutoxymethane (Solvon K4)

7. iPura Siloxane D5

8. iPura HCS

9. Glycol ether (Rynex OMD)

35


Solvetex II



Conclusions

Stain removal by perc, solvon K4 and Rynex OMD is the best.

The stain removal by HCS, siloxane D5 and Wet Cleaning is

somewhat less, but comparable to each other and the stain

removal by the iPura system is considerably less. The stain

removal in liquid CO2 is poor.

The shrinkage is the largest after wet cleaning, especially with

wool. All other solvents show a shrinkage between 0,5

– 1,5 %, only the shrinkage of wool in Siloxane D5 is

somewhat higher. Cleaning in liquid CO2 results in a very low

shrinkage.

36


Solvetex II



Conclusions

The greying results show that the iPura HCS system results

in a high greying value compared tot the other

techniques. The greying in the wet cleaning process is

relatively low.

Cleaning of wool in perc also results in a low level of

greying.

4. E-dryclean E-DryClean is an international initiative to create practical and

easily accessible education material especially for the

European Dry-Cleaning industry.

The didactical concept is based on e-learning and/or blended

learning. E-learning is a complete digital self-study form of

training, presented through this website. E-DryClean can

provide you with practical training courses to enhance your

knowledge about many aspects of dry cleaning.



What is E-DryClean?

39

International initiative to raise knowledge and skills within the drycleaning industry especially in Europe so as to enable employers and employees to:

Comply with existing and possible future laws/regulations

Be able to work with variety of processes and satisfy customer demands

4. E-dryclean



40

To remove barriers for learning within businesses,

implementing on job training methods and offering

materials adapted to the specific needs of the

Industry

To develop skills within the Industry so as to

ensure sustainable drycleaning

By improving the image of the Industry, to eliminate

the need for further regulations

Aim of the Initiative

4. E-dryclean



Partners

The EU with Associations and Industry

Professional Wetcleaning

Machine and Equipment Technology

Special aspects of the Solvents Emission Directive and

the new European Soil Contamination Directive

4. E-dryclean



Target Groups

43

SME drycleaning companies

Suppliers to the drycleaning industry

Potential Users

Owners/employees of small drycleaning shops

Owners/employees of regional textile cleaning

businesses

Employees of Suppliers to the Industry

4. E-dryclean



Benefits of E-Dryclean

44

It brings together the knowledge and expertise of a

wide range of international experience

As a continuously ongoing project, it will always

ensure that the content reflects new practices and

equipment

Continuous updating will enable owners/employees

to keep up to date with the latest knowledge and

skills

Competence level of owners/employees will be

enhanced and, as a consequence, the drycleaning

industry will become more professional

4. E-dryclean



Legislation on Perchloroethylene is very similar to

European Legislation

Legislation on other solvents, although not necessarily

covered by direct regulations, is also similar

Health and Safety regulations affecting our Industry are

also similar.

Most machines used in the world are from European

manufacturers

Most European chemicals and solvents are common to the

drycleaning industry in the rest of the world

45

Why is it suitable for the Industry Worldwide?

4. E-dryclean



46

In other words:

80% of information in the E-dryclean programme is applicable to the Worldwide drycleaning Industry.

PTC must meet standards

PTC must prove meeting standards

Certification constant evaluation by audits

Therefore constant check on required performance levels

Development: more standards and performance requirements in

other processes and market segments
