| Research Abstract |
The most common professional laundry services available today are professional dry-cleaning and laundering. This study seeks to estimate greenhouse gas emissions(GHG emission) based on LCA analysis of each step of the cleaning processes and discusses methods for reducing emissions. As a result, the GHG emissions generated by the dry cleaning process depend significantly on the types of solvents used. The steam required for solvent recovery contributes a large portion of these emissions, followed by the steam used in finishing processes. Improving boiler efficiency is a key factor in reducing GHG emissions in both dry cleaning and laundry processes.
