CHERRY HILL, N.J.—Harbor Linen, a leading manufacturer and distributor of quality linen for the hospitality and cruise line industry, has gone green with its new Orchid Towel Collection made with Bamboo. Bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly textiles available. Bamboo thrives naturally without the use of pesticides. This natural cellulose fiber is converted into yarns without the addition of chemicals, and is 100 percent biodegradable.
“This is an extremely luxurious, soft and rich, absorbent towel,” said Dennis Doucette, hotel manager of The Biltmore in Coral Gables Fla., which recently upgraded its entire resort and spa with the Orchid Collection. “The fact that the manufacturing process is eco-friendly and the towels are naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-static made our decision an easy one.”
The Orchid Collection is unique due to the blending of cotton and bamboo fibers. The yarn from the fibers has the inherent positive benefits of both fibers. The towels maintain their integrity after repeated launderings. The eco-friendly manufacturing process of the Orchid Collection utilizes no harsh bleaching or optical brighteners from the fiber state through the finished product, which adds to its softness and gives the towels a more natural finish. The end result is a soft, absorbent luxury towel designed to withstand institutional processing.
“We spent years trying various construction and blend options before achieving the optimal composition of cotton and bamboo in order to produce the finest towel available for institutional use,” says Earl Waxman, Harbor Linen’s owner.
