Sustainability
At TDS Commercial, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From advanced Ozone laundry systems to bespoke water management and reusable delivery solutions, we continually strive to reduce energy and minimise waste. Our commitment ensures that every item we launder is cared for responsibly, with long-lasting quality.
TDS Commercial awarded the EcoVadis Platinum rating
In April 2026, TDS Commercial achieved an EcoVadis Platinum rating, placing us in the top 1% of sustainable companies globally. This huge recognition reflects our sustained commitment to responsible and transparent operations, providing trusted assurance of our approach.
EcoVadis is a globally trusted provider of sustainability ratings and insights, and has an evidence-based assessment across four key areas: Environment (energy, water, emissions), Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
Across our business, sustainability is closely linked with operational performance and technological innovation. From strong data tracking and reporting, efficient processes in water, energy and logistics, and long-term investments in systems and innovation, our focus is on delivering measurable impact while maintaining the high quality and reliability our clients depend on.
We are very proud of this milestone and see it as part of an ongoing approach as we remain focused on continuous improvement. This recognition strengthens our ability to support our clients in meeting their own environmental goals, and we will continue to build on this foundation, embedding sustainable practices across every aspect of our service.
Ozone technology
Our wash process incorporates Ozone technology, a natural oxygen-based gas that cleans and disinfects fabrics while reducing the need for harsh chemicals and minimizing hot water usage. This eco-friendly process not only lowers energy and chemical use but also keeps linens brighter, softer for longer, delivering consistently high quality results for our clients.
Today, TDS is recognised as one of the most sustainable commercial laundries in the London area.
“We all have to consider everything we do and how we do it, and to work in such a way as to meet what sustainable goals we can,” says Rona Tait, Founder and Managing Director. “This is important to me, to my business, and to my customers. By offering a more environmentally friendly service down the supply chain, our clients can be confident they are working with a sustainable partner.”
To serve a wide variety of clients, TDS machines are intelligently programmed with over 25 different wash options, ensuring each item receives the most appropriate care.
Our processes are regularly independently assessed by the LTC, guaranteeing fabric brightness and durability. Linen is carefully maintained to last at least 200 washes, reducing replacement needs and further lowering environmental impact.
Advanced Water Management
TDS Commercial is proud to be a leader in environmentally friendly initiatives, consistently promoting best practices to reduce energy usage and improve operational efficiency.
In partnership with Christeyns UK, we have designed and installed a bespoke compact water management and filtration system.
This advanced system optimises water recovery, which lowers costs and minimises environmental impact, representing our latest step in our ongoing journey towards net zero operations.
Recycled Packaging
At TDS Commercial, we are committed to reducing single-use plastics throughout our operations.
All laundry deliveries are made using durable, cotton re-usable hampers, replacing disposable alternatives and helping to cut waste. We also actively encourage the return of plastic hangers so they can be reused, further minimising environmental impact.
These small but meaningful initiatives are part of our broader commitment to sustainable practices, ensuring that every aspect of our service supports both our clients and the planet.
