Sustainability at International Linens
Our approach
Made with less water, less waste and mostly sunlight
Our environmentally conscious approach conserves water, minimises waste and lowers emissions. Renewable energy and careful chemistry in processing let us produce hospital and hotel linens with a smaller footprint, from a solar powered textile plant in Faisalabad, Pakistan.

Sustainability questions
Straight answers on how we operate
Does International Linens use solar energy?
Yes. About 70% of the power used at our Faisalabad plant comes from on-site solar generation, which runs weaving, processing and stitching during production hours and reduces our reliance on the grid.
Is International Linens’ processing certified?
Yes. Bleaching and finishing at our Khurrianwala unit run under an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified process, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015, a SMETA audit on the Sedex platform and C-TPAT security assessment. Details are on the certifications page.
How does the plant reduce water and waste?
Our processing is designed for efficiency, and long-lasting linens reduce replacement and textile waste for buyers. We do not publish water or waste figures; buyers who need them for ESG reporting can request current data from the export team.
