Paris Companies has achieved Textile Rental Service Association’s (TRSA) Clean Green re-certification. Founded in 1918, Paris Companies supplies uniform services, hospital and healthcare linen services to Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia through laundries located in DuBois and Williamsport, Pennsylvania and Ravenna, Ohio. The re-certification reflects their continued dedication to operational efficiency and sustainability.

Paris Companies first earned the Clean Green Certification in 2012. Companies that have earned this certification adhere to TRSA-designated water and energy use thresholds and deploy best management practices (BMPs) consistent with the ASTM International environmental laundering standard.

The Clean Green certification is valid for three years at a time. TRSA inspects laundry facilities seeking certification and approves documentation of their water and energy use and BMP deployment through production reports they submit to auditors during the inspections.

“I applaud these laundries for their sustainability efforts and maintaining the highest standards in their production and delivery operations,” said Joseph Ricci, TRSA president and CEO. “Meeting all the criteria for certification is not easy, but they are committed to industry-leading processes and technologies.”
