Sustainable by Design, From Office to Fleet

Every energy reducing activity across ABS starts close to home, in the offices, the administration and the procedures that hold everything together.

1. Paperless Offices Printed documents have been phased out in favour of digital workflows, supported by reusable ABS mugs instead of disposable plastic cups.
2. Lower Energy Buildings Heating and cooling at the head office was renewed in 2020, low energy LED lighting is installed throughout, and gas consumption has been eliminated entirely.
3. Green Power Everywhere Every ABS office, along with the hosting and data centers, runs on 100% green energy.
4. Digital Administration Invoices and documents are provided in digital format, reducing paper use across every customer relationship.

From Linear to Connected

The industrial laundry sector is shifting away from isolated green efforts toward a model where every system, every route and every textile is part of a larger, smarter whole.

The Old Model
Textiles produced, used briefly and discarded. Delivery routes planned in isolation from returning collections. Data locked away in separate systems. Work tied to a single office and a fixed desk.
The ABS Approach
Textiles tracked, reused and kept in circulation longer. Routes planned holistically to cut empty kilometres. Data connected across systems to make sustainability measurable. Secure remote access extending flexibility to the workforce.
