Earth Day 2021: How Vision Linens Is Playing Their Part

Today we are celebrating Earth Day 2021. This year's theme is Restore Our Earth™, which focuses on natural processes, emerging green technologies, and innovative thinking that can restore the world’s ecosystems.

This is something that we endorse fully at Vision Linens. For many years we have selected our trusted linen suppliers only after we have reviewed their environmental processes and initiatives. We continue to review and record those initiatives on a yearly basis.

Inspired by International Earth Day 2021, we are proud to promote and share those active and meaningful activities our suppliers have adopted to reduce or negate their impact on the environment. These include:

• Operating water recycling and treatment plants
• Electricity used is derived from solar and wind sources
• 100% of waste is recycled
• Cartons are made using recycled paper
• Participating in tree planting programmes
• Creating sustainable water resources for their local communities

As well as ensuring our suppliers are adopting a more environmentally friendly approach, we too have taken important steps to reduce our environmental impact:

• Continue to meet all our ISO14001:2015 Environmental Management System targets
• 100% of waste from our UK operations is recycled
• Reduced CO2 per ton of fabric for an 11th year
• Increased the use of BCI cotton in our products
• Introduced a new sustainable brand of textiles, ecopure

Restoring Our Earth is bigger than one solution or one country’s efforts. We must come together as a global community to make changes, and, more importantly, make them quickly. We believe that it should be Earth Day, Every Day.
