CARIBBEAN
Xeros, the developer of polymer bead-based textile cleaning, announced this month that it has signed a $500,000 deal with commercial launderer Scarab Group, based in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
The Scarab Group, which provides laundry services to most of the hotels across the island, has now replaced all of its conventional washers with Xeros laundry systems to reduce their water and energy.
Caribbean businesses have been implementing various measures to control the use of water as the region experiences a prolonged drought.
"After our initial Xeros laundry system install at our facility in St. Thomas, we were so impressed with the exceptional cleaning results and water reduction we replaced all our machines with Xeros low water systems," said Bruce Devon, owner of Scarab Group. "Linen quality and cleanliness is essential for our customers and with Xeros we are able to provide sparkling clean linens while simultaneously reducing our ecological footprint."
