Environmental Statement
At Droplet, we are committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in the dry cleaning industry. Our dedication to reducing our environmental impact is reflected in our comprehensive approach to resource management and waste reduction. Here are the key initiatives we have implemented to achieve our environmental goals:
- Reusing Water from Dry Cleaning
We have invested in advanced water treatment and filtration systems that allow us to reuse water from our dry cleaning processes. This significantly reduces our water consumption and ensures that we are conserving this precious resource.
- Reusing Dry Cleaning Solvent
Our state-of-the-art cleaning technology enables us to recycle and reuse dry cleaning solvents. By continuously purifying the solvent, we minimize waste and reduce the need for new chemicals, contributing to a healthier environment.
- Reusing and Recycling Hangers
We encourage our customers to return hangers for reuse. Additionally, we have established a recycling program for hangers that can no longer be used, ensuring that metal and plastic components are properly recycled.
- Reusing Plastic Covers
To minimize plastic waste, we reuse plastic covers whenever possible. We also offer alternatives, such as reusable garment bags, to our customers, further reducing our reliance on single-use plastics.
- Using Technology and Machines that Use Less Water
We have upgraded to the latest dry cleaning machines that are designed to use significantly less water. These machines are not only more efficient but also reduce our overall environmental footprint.
- Implementing Wet Cleaning
Our adoption of wet cleaning technology reflects our commitment to environmentally friendly practices. Wet cleaning is a non-smog-forming technology that uses water and biodegradable detergents, offering a safe and effective alternative to traditional dry cleaning methods.
- Reducing Single-Use Plastic
We have set ambitious targets to drastically cut down our single-use plastic consumption. By September 2024, we aim to reduce our single-use plastic usage by 80%. Furthermore, we are committed to achieving zero single-use plastic by the end of 2024.
At Droplet, we believe that every step towards sustainability counts. Our initiatives are designed not only to provide high-quality dry cleaning services but also to protect and preserve our environment for future generations. We are proud of our progress and remain dedicated to continuous improvement in our environmental practices.
