Farley's operates a processing facility under the belief that Environmental Responsibility is not optional. Textile products that are reused many times eliminate the waste created by disposable products and conserve natural resources. Through management practices and technology advances, Farley's strives to drive down its consumption of energy, water, packaging and increase the life of the textiles themselves. Farley's has obtained an ISO 14001 certification, and Farley's products and services assist customers who value environmental stewardship.

This philosophy and the innovations and practices it fosters impact many facets of the industrial laundry business -- and those of our customers -- such as:

• Farley's process to recover and quantify solvent from soiled towels prevents solvents from evaporating into the air or going into the sewer system. After recovery, the solvent is so contaminant free that it is a valuable material.
  
  
• The thousands of tons of industrial laundry that Farley's facility processes yields a wide range and large quantity of separated soil. With solvent recovery and improvements in our dry cleaning systems, that amount was reduced to zero a few years later. The Farley's facility generates no process related hazardous waste.
  
  
• Waste oil from aqueous and dry cleaning operations is also processed to be a useable product. Commingled industrial oils and grease soils are diverted from landfills or the sewer system and reused in industry.
  
  
• This high level of process control means Farley's customers can have confidence the soil in their laundry will not come back to haunt them as a future environmental liability.
