To quantify the environmental impact of not washing, drying and ironing three products used in the cabin service, we made some assumptions.

1. 100,000 units of each product (20x20cm, 40x40cm and 50x40cm)
2. The combined weight of all three rotable cotton products is 80g.
3. Total weight 100,000 units of each product: 8,000 kg (8 tons)
4. The quality of the rotable linen is 200 grams per square meter (gm/2)

5. The product life cycle is 20 washes
6. Estimated washing consumption:
    >Bleach:                      7.5 ml/Kg
    >Fabric Softener:        20.0 ml/Kg
    >Detergent:               36.0 ml/Kg
    >Water:                     10.0 L  /Kg
7. Estimated electricity demanded:
    >Washing:      15kW per ton
    >Drying:         25kW per ton
    >Ironing:        25kW per ton
8. Gas emissions were not calculated for these three cycles nor for the transport of the items to the laundry facilities.
9. The vehicle used was a Mercedes Sprinter Van
10.The total capacity of the vehicle: 1,700 Kg
11.The vehicle fuel consumption: 8L/100KM
12.The round trip distance to the laundry facilities: 50km
13.Gas emissions were not calculated for the transport of the items to/from the laundry facilities.
