Innovation and sustainability in laundry: an inseparable duo for Australian market

Environmental impact that directly affects our world is increasing, and therefore both individuals and institutions are calling more and more for greater commitment by economic stakeholders to turn around a situation that is close to escalating beyond a point of no return. There is no planet B, so any pro-sustainability measure is a positive contribution to caring for our planet and all the beings that live on it.

In this context, Girbau Australia acknowledges the critical role of the industrial laundry sector in driving positive transformations. For years, Girbau has been at the forefront of addressing climate change concerns, integrating innovation and sustainability into its operations.

Girbau Australia is committed to consolidating its leadership position by embracing a greener, more environmentally-friendly model and be able to make its mark on the planet to mitigate the effects of rising global temperatures. Thus, through an environmental and innovative focus, Girbau Australia products, services and processes are aligned with the company's value proposition to create a  positive impact on  our  customers, their businesses and the planet.

 

An opportunity for every innovation

On the basis of research, textile processing technology and the know-how of the talent in the firm, Girbau develops disruptive, innovative industrial laundry machinery with a view to circularity, energy efficiency and top-class service to ensure the health and well-being of both users and the planet.

The new washers GENIUS Series,  part of  Girbau's best-in-class commerical laundry equipment portfolio, epitomize efficiency and sustainability. These professional  washers boast unparalleled ergonomics and efficiency, offering the highest spin speed on the market while minimizing environmental impact. In fact, the GENIUS series sets the benchmark for sustainability, reducing energy consumption by up to 15%.

In an era of energy volatility and uncertainty, investing in efficiency becomes paramount. Girbau's machinery is designed to maximize profitability throughout its lifecycle, significantly reducing emissions and aligning with the goals outlined in the Agenda 2030.

This agenda calls for a major effort by businesses, involving the design of versatile, efficient new products. In this respect, according to the latest Girbau Sustainability Report, energy consumption in industrial laundries accounts for between 20% and 25% of operating costs and 40% of this goes on heating and hot water. Girbau therefore offers ways of saving up to 30% on gas or electricity consumption with innovations like water-water heat exchangers and air-air heat exchangers, as well as non-steam solutions.

Ultimately, in order to remain a major player in the switch to sustainable development in the industry, Girbau Australia is committed to seizing new opportunities.
