Washing and sourcing linen places a high demand on people and the environment. That’s why Blycolin has been investing for years in smart solutions, responsible materials, and partnerships that take sustainability seriously. In 2024, those efforts gained new momentum. Preparations for the CSRD directive sharpened our ambitions, clarified our impact, and strengthened the integration of ESG practices into our daily operations.
Sustainability is only credible when we do what we say and we show what we do. An indispensable part of transparency is openness about the source of products and materials. That is why our Product DNA shows where our materials come from. From the location of the cotton production, right up to our direct suppliers. Besides this, our Life Cycle Analysis indicates the true impact of our textile products across the entire lifespan. As we are part of a larger supply chain, we also continuously discuss these issues with our partners.
Our sustainable collection is continually developing. The products comply with international standards, as shown by various certificates and labels. The Pure Eco collection is 100% organic cotton and GOTS certified. The new bath linen New Atlantic and Mare are also quality sustainable options.

From production to processing, awareness is important in every step of the process. There are good agreements and cooperations within the linen chain. To secure the quality, we perform audits and map out the life cycle (LCA) of every product from our collection. For the Chetna project, good working conditions for the cotton farmers are a must. Discover more in our Honest linen story.
For hotels and restaurants with a Green Key or Green Globe Certificate, the origin and sustainable production of textile is an important factor. We support each initiative that strives for a sustainable linen chain and will gladly talk to you about this!
Blycolin wants to use linen for as long as possible. And when that’s no longer possible? Then we try to give the linen a second lease of life or to recycle it. Our goal is to close the linen chain.
Together with suppliers and partners, various initiatives have been started to develop innovations. One of those developments is Cibutex, in which fellow linen rental companies have joined forces for a new corporation in Circular Textile. And then there are Comeback, Reborn and Reused: 3 inspiring concepts that contribute to circular hospitality linen.
Tight cooperation with our customers, our textile suppliers, our own laundries and laundry partners is essential for a successful strategy in sustainability. We inspire one another to be sustainable. Smarter, more efficient and better is our motivation; always in motion, with an eye on the future. For instance, we have been in yearlong partnerships with our laundries and have entered into various other partnerships for a more sustainable world.
