EcoVadis operates an evidence-based online platform, providing supplier sustainability ratings and allowing companies to assess the ESG performance of their global suppliers. It considers a range of CSR issues, which are grouped into four core areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
No Harmful Chemicals. Certification by the international Standard, OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and AZO-free processing provides assurance that our products have been tested for harmful substances and that they are harmless for human health.
Recycled and Recyclable Packaging. Packaged with recycled and recyclable materials and reduces landfill waste.
Renewable and Sustainable Raw Materials. Our linen and terry products are made principally from cotton, a renewable and sustainable raw material. Certified organic cotton and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) cotton is available by special order. Manchester Mills can also source sustainable cotton through Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) partners.
Recycled Content.The polyester in many of our products includes recycled content ranging from 25% to 100%. This use of recycled resins helps minimize waste in landfills, while reducing the demand for new petroleum-based raw materials.
Manchester Mills brings innovative product solutions to our customers that help staff complete their tasks more efficiently, while focusing on sustainability.
One of these solutions is our Guest Ready® Continuous Wash Process Systems program, which does not require linens to be washed before first use. Our Guest Ready bed and bath linens are prewashed and ready to use right out of the box, saving time and operational costs.
These products have gone through a rigorous, yet environmentally friendly Continuous Wash Process System to save water, time, energy and eliminate odors. This results in a product that is soft to the touch, providing freshness and comfort for guests or residents.
