Your clothes, like new for longer
Every year, we test our programs to extend the life of your fabrics. The result: better fiber retention, preserved colors, and fewer clothes thrown away.
👉 The bonus for you: Save money on buying new clothes by keeping your favorite items longer.
Latest-generation, more economical equipment
We invest in new machines and equipment:
- Washing machines, dryers, dry cleaning machines, and new smart dosing pumps.
- Connected systems to measure the total consumption of each machine in real time and optimize our carbon footprint.
- Precise statistical monitoring of wash cycles to further reduce the consumption of detergents, energy, and waste.
This equipment reduces water consumption by up to 50% and electricity consumption by up to 70%. Our fleet of new-generation machines reduces time by up to xx%, for faster, gentler, and more effective care.
Healthier, certified cleaning solutions
To guarantee impeccable results without harming your skin or the environment, we are innovating on two fronts:
Water-based cleaning
In partnership with three industry leaders (SEITZ, CHRISTEYNS, DIVERSEY), we are developing our water-based washing solutions, most of which are Ecolabel® certified. Better-balanced
programs and optimized temperature cycles mean lower water, energy, and chemical consumption for cleaner laundry that is gentler on fabrics.
Dry cleaning
We are actively working to replace traditional solvents. In France, the use of perchloroethylene has already been completely eliminated. We are currently testing new generations of safer and more environmentally friendly solvents for equally effective care, even on the most delicate fabrics.
The benefit for you: Perfectly cared-for clothes using processes that have no impact on the planet.
Always ahead of standards
Our teams anticipate upcoming regulations (on PIFAs, microplastics, restricted substances, etc.) to ensure that our processes remain exemplary.
We closely monitor legal developments and invest in research into innovative solutions: macroplastic and microplastic filtration systems, new technologies such as ozone, etc.
The result: you can be sure that your clothes are treated in accordance with the most demanding standards.
Less plastic, less waste
At 5àsec, we are taking concrete steps to reduce our waste:
- Our plastic covers (transparent protective covers) are becoming thinner, less bulky, and easier to recycle.
- We offer reusable covers for sale to replace disposable ones.
- Our laundry product containers are changing from 20 L to 10 L bag-in-box format, for less waste and better working conditions.
Continuous innovation, for you and the planet
