What makes Oxwash sustainable?

Our purpose, the reason we exist, is to eliminate the impact of textile care on our planet and us.

We do this by reimagining the process from start to finish with sustainability at the heart of everything we do. To give you some examples of how we are achieving this:

  • We wash items at ambient temperatures using biodegradable chemistry which is free of the harmful phosphates, microplastics, and artificial brighteners found in most detergents. Traditional dry cleaning is done using PERC which is a highly toxic solvent that is not only damaging to textiles and the environment but is also a known carcinogen.
  • Our ozone supersaturation system kills 99% of germs without high temperatures, bringing down our energy consumption.
  • Our machines use 60% less water and our water reclamation system recycles up to 70% of the water from each cycle.
  • We use Cleaner Seas commercial filters on our machines to capture 99% of microfibers and prevent them from entering our wastewater and oceans.
  • We have a fleet of electric cargo bikes and vans that we use as our primary means of collection and delivery.
  • We nurture working conditions where our employees can thrive, paying a Living Wage, and providing training and mental health support.
