Alsco Uniforms, Salt Lake City, and Hawaiʻi Unified Industries have successfully completed a rooftop solar installation at the Alsco Uniforms Honolulu plant. This new solar system will support Alsco Uniforms in delivering linen and uniform laundry services to Oahu while minimizing their environmental footprint through the use of sustainable energy.

Plenty of laundries offer opportunities for developmentally challenged people to work in washing or finishing departments. The Ergon laundry in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, has taken this idea further than most with a high-tech “fossil-free” laundry staffed largely by people with disabilities. Textile Services Weekly toured Ergon earlier this year. Highlights follow.

Prudential Overall Supply, Irvine, CA, recently announced the completion of its second solar-power installation. Starting this month, the company’s Fresno, CA, plant is expected to begin generating roughly 60% of its electricity from 472 roof-mounted solar panels, according to a news release.
