Seen from different angles, from the machinery manufacturers, detergents producers, but also from those companies making installations for the purification of the waste water. With this logic, the companies are manufacturing machines and products that allow a reduction in water and electricity consumption, but also a more economical dosage of the detergents. Shortly, a responsible use of resources, but also in some cases their reutilisation in the framework of the circular economy. Because the companies are thinking and producing more sustainable products, but their production processes are also moving on the same wavelength with the green methods that are not harming the environment. The health crisis emphasised more on sustainability, moreover because we have all acquired a higher awareness compared to the recent past. Let&#8217;s take a tour among our producers, starting from different perspectives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21973\" src=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-300x110.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"477\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-1024x375.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-768x281.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-696x255.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-1068x391.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022.jpg 1093w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We meet <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Marco Niccolini, the General Sales and Mkt Director of Renzacci SpA<\/strong><\/span>, for debating the bio dry-cleaning topic. He states, &#8220;as Renzacci, we have been proposing for some time now, and the results are speaking by themselves, a new dry-cleaning service for the machines using natural solvents and therefore as alternatives to perchloroethylene, that must be biodegradable, biocompatible and hypoallergenic. We are also having positive feedback from the commercial point of view, as the end user knows that the service offered by the laundry is carried out with techniques and machinery that are not only protecting the environment, but also taking care of the persons\u2019 wellbeing. The bio dry-cleaning has the goal to provide a service to an informed customer.<\/p>\n<p>Our experience is telling tells us that on one hand, there is a turnover growth due to an increased number of services, as the bio dry-cleaning allows treating a wider range of articles (shoes, bags, etc.), while on the other hand there are some costs savings, because these machines have lower running costs with a reduced consumption of water, energy and solvent, that can be translated in a better final price for the customer. Concerning the water washing machines, Renzacci is very satisfied developing the Oceano washing system and particularly the Oceano EcoCare, which allows a water recovery between 35% and 40%, for each washing cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Oceano system goes beyond the traditional wet cleaning and combines it with the circular economy and sustainability. Concepts that the customer appreciates in its purchasing value scale. The consumer&#8217;s indifference curve in the purchasing process becomes an essential element. The Oceano system as a professional water- based washing system, combines perfectly with the bio dry-cleaning as conceived and implemented by Renzacci. These two systems are perfectly completing each other. The water-washing is complementary to the dry-cleaning and not a substitute,\u201d reaffirms and concludes Marco Niccolini.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-21969\" src=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-300x102.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-300x102.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-1024x349.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-768x261.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-696x237.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-1068x364.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022.jpg 1090w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Having placed among our company\u2019s \u201cmissions\u201d to develop a sustainable chemistry, after noticing the always-increasing awareness of the public opinion regarding the need for preserving the environment, and looking forward to an EXPOdetergo International edition strongly focused on this topic,<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong> Marco Vaccari, the Export&amp;Research manager of Surfchimica<\/strong><\/span>, says: \u201cwe have created, and we will increasingly develop, organic solutions for the laundry of the future.

Working in synergy with the Wavy control system, the system is able to dose water, energy and detergents according to the effective amount of loaded linen, with significant savings in terms of resources (up to 50% less water), cycle length (using less water means less time required for the water heating, water inlet and water drain) and mechanical action.<\/p>\n<p>The DWS system (as standard feature on all the washing machines from 8 to 28 kg) exploits the communication between the inverter, the Wavy control system and the 3D sensor, to calculate the linen weight and to determine the right amount of necessary resources, including detergents, without the need to install autonomous dosing units (Wavy takes care of the pump management), positively influencing the ecological and economical balance of the entire laundry. Finally, the goal of minimising the impact of the equipment on the environment, has driven the company to select recyclable materials, ensuring a recyclability rate of up to 96%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21987\" src=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-300x77.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"452\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-1024x264.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-768x198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-696x180.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022-1068x276.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6.Reportage_DETERGO_Luglio.Agosto_2022.jpg 1093w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The last meeting is dedicated to the wastewater purification and we meet <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Fabia Segolini, the responsible for the Marketing Office, of S.T.A.

We have never endorsed a technology rather than a treatment; each situation must be studied and requires a customised response and approach. Especially for the industrial laundries where the waste is characterised by a high content of surfactants that it is compromising the water quality at discharge. The S.T.A. method is giving the possibility to test the purification process starting with the internal lab analysis on the raw and clarified wastewater useful for identifying the best combination in terms of efficiency and operating costs.<\/p>\n<p>The biological compartment is also designed thanks to the tests results on the field, that allow the correct setting of the processing cycles and define the necessity of dosing the nutrients or chemical products. At the end of the monitoring stage, the observed removal efficiency determines the wastewater treatment settings so that it makes it possible to achieve the expected results at discharge.<\/p>\n<p>The customers that rely on S.T.A. can count on a customised consultancy service and tested solutions developed ad hoc based of verified data.
