Softer, more absorbent, eco-friendly line of MircoCotton® towels provides significant savings in laundry costs, while providing a luxurious experience for hotel and spa guests
Sheffield, Mass. - October 23, 2007 - Cypress Hotel & Spa, the leading designer and manufacturer of luxurious bathrobes, towels, slippers, and sheets for the hospitality and spa industry for over twenty-five years, today announced the introduction of MicroCotton® Green Earth™ towels, the newest innovation in eco-friendly towels for the hotel and spa market.
Green Earth Towels by Cypress are made from super-fine, Extra-Long Staple (ELS) cotton, which is known for contributing to the sustainable consumption of cotton. ELS cotton is also recognized worldwide for its superior softness, absorbency, durability and luxurious feel. Green Earth towels are 300%-400% bulkier than traditional combed cotton towels of the same weight, while having 50% less mass than traditional combed towels. Due to the higher ratio of surface area to towel weight, they absorb 15 times the amount of water. Due to their lower mass, however, Green Earth towels cost significantly less to launder, saving 50% in water consumption, using less detergent and taking 10-15% less drying time. This reduces hotel operational costs, while also reducing environmental impact.
Green Earth Towels by Cypress are manufactured in a state-of-the-art, bio-waste powered, zero discharge facility that produces no emission of effluents into the local water tables. The process also incorporates Control Union-certified*, sustainable, eco-friendly dyes and chemicals to reduce impact on the environment, and are shipped in 100% natural and bio-degradable / recyclable packaging.
"As one of the world’s largest consumers of energy, the hotel industry has an obligation to reduce its impact on the earth," continued Faul. "In recent years, that obligation has come to the forefront, and many properties have made a commitment to gaining their green certification by reducing energy waste and looking for eco-friendly products. The Green Earth towel by Cypress now gives them an opportunity to extend that commitment to the linens category, providing an earth-friendly alternative that also has a luxurious appeal for their guests."
