Environmental Initiatives
We are committed to making our community a better place for our friends and family. As a locally owned business, we take pride in putting extra effort and time into the things that are important to us like our customers and community. With the health of our planet in mind, Plymate continues to build upon our green initiatives to help create a better environment and do our part.
Our industry is inherently “green” because we keep garments, mats, towels, and more in service as long as they meet our customers’ standards. We also take extra steps to reduce our environmental footprint:
- Detergent meets EPA Safer Detergent Stewardship Initiative
- Evaluate routes of our service vehicles to minimize driving
- 10-hour workdays to save utility costs and commuter miles
- Sell products made from recycled material
- Use high-efficiency T-5 lighting fixtures and LEDs
- Reuse hangers and recycle damaged hangers
- The Mat plant is 100% LED lighting, interior and exterior
- Recycle ink cartridges
- Donate old computers, monitors, and printers
- Reclaim heat from our water used in processing
- Filter all of our waste water
- Reuse filtered water in our wash process
- Reconnect Partnership Recycling Program
- Utilize SMART thermostat controls (during peak demand times thermostats are auto adjusted to decrease load)
“…Everyone we have worked with at Plymate has been very kind and hospitable. The service is great and all our technicians are happy with the quality of their uniforms. If you are looking to make changes to your current provider, Plymate is your answer. I am happy we chose Plymate.”
