Sustainable Healthcare Laundry Services and Reusable Textiles
At Ecotex, sustainability is by design. We provide healthcare laundry services and reusable textiles that help hospitals reduce medical waste, water use, and energy consumption. As a Clean Green certified provider, we replace single-use disposables with durable reusable surgical gowns, drapes, and linens that lower healthcare’s environmental footprint.
Ecotex is Partnering with Hospitals to “Green” the Operating Rooms
The operating rooms are a tiny percentage of a hospital’s total physical footprint, however they have an outsized impact on a hospitals environmental footprint. Operating rooms, on average:
- Are responsible for 40 to 60% of the organization’s total supply costs
- Consume three to six times more energy per square foot than anywhere else in the facility
- Produce Two-thirds of a hospitals regulated medical waste
- Produce more than 30% of a facility’s waste
Hospitals are using reusable textiles to reduce their waste stream, reduce their carbon footprint while increasing staff comfort and protection. Ecotex supplies a full range of environmentally sustainable reusable surgical products including linen bundles, hybrid bundles, drapes, wrappers, and surgical gowns.
One reusable gown from Ecotex replaces up to 60 single-use disposable gowns. Reusable linens reduce healthcare waste, lower long-term costs, and support hospital sustainability targets.

Sustainability and Stewardship
Every reusable textile in the Ecotex range, from patient gowns to surgical drapes to bedding, is engineered to be safely processed hundreds of times without compromising hygiene, infection control, or patient comfort. The result is dramatically less waste sent to landfill, fewer resources consumed in manufacturing, and a simpler supply chain for hospital procurement teams to manage.
