In the healthcare world, cleanliness and safety are non-negotiable. But increasingly, environmental sustainability is becoming just as important. From hospitals to private clinics, healthcare providers are being called to reduce their environmental footprint—and that responsibility extends to the partners they choose. That’s where CITY Healthcare Co. stands out.
CITY isn’t just a trusted laundering provider—they’re setting the standard for environmentally responsible operations in the textile services industry. As a TRSA Clean Green Certified company, CITY has proven their commitment to sustainable practices that align with the values of modern healthcare providers.
“We are in this for the long haul,” said CITY President Colin Wetlaufer. “Being Clean Green Certified means we’re taking action now to build a better, more sustainable future—not just for our company, but for our customers and communities, too.”
What Is TRSA Clean Green Certification?
The Clean Green Certification, awarded by the Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA), is a third-party verification for commercial laundries that consistently meet high standards in water and energy conservation, waste reduction, and sustainable operations. It’s one of the most respected environmental certifications in the industry—and one that requires a serious commitment to earn.
For healthcare organizations, working with a TRSA Clean Green Certified partner like CITY means knowing your laundry provider is operating with integrity, responsibility, and an eye on the future.
Why Sustainability Matters in Healthcare
Sustainability isn’t just about being green—it’s about protecting patient health, managing costs, and meeting regulatory expectations. Healthcare facilities consume a significant amount of energy and water. Choosing suppliers who align with sustainability goals is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to extend environmentally conscious operations beyond your walls.
Partnering with a certified sustainable provider like CITY helps healthcare organizations:
- Reduce their overall carbon footprint
- Support responsible water and energy use
- Demonstrate environmental leadership to patients and staff
- Ensure compliance with evolving environmental regulations
CITY’s Green Practices in Action
CITY’s sustainability strategy isn’t just a checklist—it’s an ongoing investment. Some highlights include:
- Solar Power: With 850 solar panels, CITY’s solar energy system generates roughly a third of the company’s electricity, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Water Conservation: Through a Norchem UltraPure filtration system, CITY recycles its water—saving 665,000 gallons per month. That’s a win for both the environment and the integrity of their laundering process.
- Energy Efficiency: CITY’s headquarters operates with LED lighting throughout, saving more than 45,000 kilowatt-hours annually—the equivalent of taking five cars off the road or planting eight acres of trees.
This level of effort isn’t just about saving money—it’s about doing what’s right.
“We believe that environmental sustainability and exceptional service go hand in hand,” said Colin. “Our healthcare partners deserve to know that the provider handling their linens is just as committed to care as they are.”
The Bottom Line for Healthcare
When you choose CITY Healthcare, you’re not just choosing clean—you’re choosing Clean Green.
CITY's TRSA Clean Green Certification is more than a badge—it’s proof that they meet rigorous standards, continuously improve their environmental practices, and operate with integrity.
