Responsible supply chain decisions drive drycleaning choice.

Economic
Environment

We choose socially and environmentally sustainable supply chains including local, regional and national suppliers whose sustainability philosophy is aligned with ours.

Eastern Drycleaners’ believes that our commitment to the health of our environment, staff and our customers is at the core of providing a superior service to our customers. We have been serving the Christchurch community for over 60 years and have a history of being on the forefront of the technological advances in our industry. We were the first in Christchurch to: get rid of PERC as a solvent completely, use modified alcohol and hydrocarbon solvents and introduce Lagoon Wetcleaning. These are all considered to be the gold standard in our industry.

Also we designed our own hangers which are very high quality and can be used for decades so it reduces what we put into land fill. All of our electric vans are 100% electric so zero emissions.

Eastern Drycleaners was honoured to be one of the three businesses in the entire country to be nominated for Most Sustainable Business in the nation in 2019.

Here are some of the reasons The George chooses to work with Eastern Drycleaners;

0% emission fleet
Hanger reuse program
High quality long life reusable hangers
100% 'Perc' free factory
66% reduction in paper used

The George chooses to partner with Eastern Drycleaners for our laundry and dry cleaning needs. They offer us an electronic docket system, reusable linen laundry bags, long life coat hangers and an emission-free fleet.

Guests using the drycleaning service can rest easy knowing that their clothes are being cleaned without the use of the harsh chemical known as 'Perc'. Instead Eastern Drycleaners uses Lagoon Wetcleaning technology, which gives a far superior clean, a wonderful smell (not the yucky chemical smell often associated with dry cleaning), and is environmentally responsible.
