WSI develops and provides industry-leading wash processes for water-based commercial laundry companies mainly in North America. It also provides integrated detergent supply systems, best-in-class customer service, and boasts a large market share.
The award-winning TRUpath^TM is a wash process that eliminates alkali (sodium hydroxide) on the large majority of items processed. Alkali is environmentally harmful but widely used in the commercial laundry. TRUpath^TM enables shorter wash time, less water use, and low-temperature wash leading to reduced fuel consumption.
WSI has long been working on reducing the use of environmentally harmful raw materials that are widely used in the industry, such as NPE^*1 and phosphates. WSI has already been awarded the Platinum Level award by the Ohio EPA for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018 for its contribution to making the commercial laundry industry greener. This is the first time WSI is honored by the US EPA.
"We are both humbled and extremely proud to be selected as a recipient of this award. The selection criteria are exhaustive, and set a very high standard. I believe this elevates our entire laundry industry," stated John Walroth, CEO.
