Oxwash Teams with Earthchain to Supercharge Emissions Intelligence and Operational Efficiency

Oxford, UK — June 2025 — Oxwash, the UK-based leading B Corp laundry innovator, has enhanced its groundbreaking sustainability journey by partnering with Earthchain, an AI‑powered emissions management platform. The collaboration equips Oxwash with granular, real‑time visibility into emissions across its operations and supply chain, enabling faster, smarter decisions for energy optimisation and cost reduction. 

Putting Data at the Heart of Sustainability

Oxwash, with a track record in sustainability, operating at 25 × less carbon‑intensive than industry average, has been propelled even further by Earthchain’s automated platform. By ingesting myriad unstructured data sets from utility bills and machine energy logs to transport and supplier records, Earthchain delivers live, highly granular insights into greenhouse gas emissions.

“No more end‑of‑year surprises,” says Oxwash CFO Jonathan Young. “With Earthchain, we can now ask, ‘Which site’s energy strategy is underperforming?’ or ‘Where in our supply chain are emissions high and cost savings possible?’ The answers arrive in real time - “Holy smokes, this is incredible!"

Multifaceted Benefits, From Site to Supply Chain

Operational Efficiency

• Near-instant energy‑consumption tracking across sites (including renewable‑powered facilities like Big Blue I) lets Oxwash quickly benchmark performance and identify energy‑saving opportunities.
  
• Historical and site‑level trend insights help teams experiment with new processes and verify savings.
  
  

Scope 3 Emissions Insight

• Earthchain helps enhance insight into: linen suppliers, detergent chemistry, logistics, highlighting hotspots where action can reduce both carbon and costs.
  
• Oxwash is said to be addressing “limited control over supplier infrastructure” by using Earthchain to consent data from partner networks.
  
  

Strategic Reporting & Forecasting

• Earthchain auto-generates audit-ready reports aligned with global frameworks (e.g. SBTi, SECR, BCorp), giving Oxwash peace of mind and freeing up time for strategy.
  
• Its science-based targeting identifies realistic reduction pathways; predictive functions allow Oxwash to model ‘what-if’ scenarios for future decarbonisation.
  
  

A Game Changer for Sustainable Textile Care

Oxwash’s mission to decarbonise industrial laundry from ozone-powered cleaning to closed-loop water recycling and electrified logistics is already pioneering. Adding Earthchain’s AI powered insights further raises the bar, transforming sustainability into a finely tuned, data‑driven practice.

Future Outlook

Building on this success, Oxwash aims to expand Earthchain across its national operations and supply chain partners. Real‑time emissions visibility will enable them to negotiate greener procurement, optimise transport routes, and validate the environmental and financial impact of every initiative.

This partnership marks a new chapter in sustainable linen care, where emissions intelligence meets decisive action. Together, Oxwash and Earthchain are proving that transparency, data, and innovation aren’t just environmental priorities, they’re powerful levers for operational excellence and long-term growth.
