With laundry costs about to soar*
does Disposable Bed Linen
make sense to you?

*FM World Article 14th Jan 2011 -
"Commercial laundry sector on the brink"

The Problem...

As reported in an article from 14th January in FM World, the world is facing a crisis concerning cotton. Record high cotton prices and spiraling energy costs are leading to a 'perfect storm' where the budgets of healthcare trusts could be seriously challenged. Some excerpts from the article (courtesy FM World):

       "...Record high raw cotton prices and increasing energy costs are threatening the future of the UK's commercial laundry sector, the Textile Services Association says...."

       "...Operational costs of the big users of commercial laundries that rely on a supply of cotton-rich essentials like bed sheets, towels and tablecloths, could suffer in the long run..."

       "...Cotton rose by 76 per cent over the year to the end of November, which translated into a 38 per cent rise in the cost of a bed sheet, the report says..."

       "...Laundry suppliers and their clients need to be more innovative and think long-term relationships for win-win solutions rather than one side or the other looking for only short term gains..."

The Solution...
Grosvenor Disposable Bed Linen

• Disposable bed linen reduces the risk of no or low linen stock
• Disposable bed linen offers improved standardised quality - reducing issues with rejected linen laundry stock, eliminating quality problems
• Disposable bed linen is readily available & can be delivered same or next day (subject to orders being received by 11am & ordered volume)
• Disposable bed linen is easier to track & self-audit
• Reduce your hospitals carbon footprint by limiting laundries exposure to high energy & transport use
• Disposable bed linen is fully recyclable
• Disposable bed linen is cost effective compared to traditional linen & on-going laundry costs (price on application)
• Reduces the risk of cross contamination (fresh virgin bed)
• Disposable bed linen is delivered direct to ward in sealed packs for advanced hygiene
