Three Reasons Why Work Apparel and Uniforms Rentals Promote a Better Environment
Did you know that people prefer buying goods and services from small- and medium-sized businesses that promote a better environment? According to a study conducted by Nielsen, 72% of respondents would rather pay more for products and services from businesses that promote a positive eco-friendly and social environment.1
In other words, if your small- or medium-sized business does things that are eco-friendly—like use a reusable uniform rental service—and advertises this in your community, you are more likely to attract new business, even if your prices are more than a big-box retailer.
To get the word out and promote your business, here are three specific reasons you can use as selling points to attract eco-conscious customers:
- Reusable Uniforms Reduce Waste
Businesses that use disposable uniforms—the ones you wear once and toss in the trash— increase the amount of waste ending up in landfills. Most disposable uniforms cannot be recycled.
Reusable uniforms can be washed, sanitized, and worn numerous times. Even when the uniforms wear out, they can be used for other purposes, like made into cleaning rags, which further extends their usefulness.
- Uniform Services Help Conserve Water and Energy
If your employees have to take their uniforms and wash them at home, they end up using more water and energy compared to having a uniform service launder them. For instance, you have ten employees, and all have to wash their uniforms twice a week. That’s twenty loads of laundry, compared to just one or two large loads done by your uniform rental service!
In addition, your employees will have lower water and energy bills and spend less on laundry detergents. At Prudential Overall Supply, compared to requiring employees to launder their uniforms at home, our professional laundering uniform washing uses on average:
- 35% Lower Energy Consumption
- 30% Water Usage Reduction
- 42% Carbon Footprint Reduction
- Renting Uniforms from an Eco-Friendly Service Is an Added Bonus
When you select an environmentally friendly uniform rental service, you are further demonstrating to your customers how you also choose products and services from environmentally conscious and friendly businesses. Choose a uniform rental service like Prudential Overall Supply, which uses our eco-friendly Clean Green TRSA Certified Sustainability Movement best practices and ensures both your business and our service care about the environment.
