Carbon Neutral Laundry

In the Fall 2017 Semester the University installed more energy and water efficient laundry machines. This project was the result of collaboration between our Purchasing Department and the Office of Sustainability. The newly installed machines reduce water consumption by 12%, or 143,750 gallons, as compared to the old machines.

Additionally, as part of the leasing agreement, the CSC Service Works enrolled the University in their Lighten the Load™ Program. Through this effort CSC has purchased carbon offsets, through the Carbon Fund, for 222 metric tons of CO2e – enough to make our laundry carbon neutral.
