The Hidden Costs of In-House Laundry in Hospitality

How to Choose a Commercial Laundry Partner Whether you’re running a bustling hotel in Edinburgh, managing a care home in Inverness, or operating a busy restaurant in London, the quality of your linen says everything about your business.

Reflecting on the Year at Aberdeen Laundry Services As we look back on 2025 at ALS, we’re proud of how far we’ve come – and even more proud of the people who made it happen. At the start of the year, our ambition was clear: continue our values led approach to business growth, focusing on our people, community and environment while maintaining the high standards of service and care for which we’re known. With roots stretching back to 1898 and formal incorporation in 2008, we’ve grown through strategic acquisitions and investments. The past year has been no different – in

Part 2 When selecting an offsetting partner, we evaluated several providers. Carbon Neutral Britain stood out for three reasons: their use of the highest quality AAA-rated carbon credits, their independent project validation process, and their comprehensive approach to the carbon neutrality hierarchy.

This isn’t a story about purchasing carbon credits to greenwash our operations. This is a story about a team that fundamentally transformed how we do business, that refused to accept “industry standard” as good

We partnered with Carbon Neutral Britain to conduct a comprehensive carbon audit following the ISO 14064-1 and GHG Emissions Protocol Accounting Standard—the two most recognised methodologies for carbon footprint calculation globally, used by the UK Government and all public agencies. Why Online Calculators Won’t Cut It Here’s something many businesses don’t realise: online carbon calculators, while convenient, simply aren’t compliant with UK emission standards. Every business is different, and cookie-cutter approaches inevitably miss crucial emission
