The award recognizes Ecolab’s commitment to innovation in sustainability, environmental stewardship and water and energy conservation in the textile services industry. 

Ecolab’s 3D TRASAR™ Technology for Effluent has been recognized with a top honour at the 2025 TRSA Industry Awards, hosted by the Textile Services Rental Association (TRSA). TRSA is an important industry organisation that promotes and recognizes best practices in linen, uniform and facility services. 

The programme earned an award in the Clean Green Sustainability category for driving water circularity and optimization of wastewater treatment processes. 

The award underscores Ecolab’s commitment to driving innovation in commercial laundry operations while advancing circular water strategies that help minimise waste and maximise water reuse.  

Driving valuable change 

Ecolab’s innovations to the commercial laundry industry continue to deliver value across all our customers. One example of our innovative strategy has been our focus to reduce process water usage in our customer operations based on our reduce-reuse-recycle water circularity strategy. A recent offering in this space has been our industry leading ProTEX Plus programme that has delivered significant water and energy reduction across our largest customers. 

The innovation resulting in this award, 3D TRASAR Technology for Effluent for Ecolab’s Textile Care Division, continues our journey in this area by helping to deliver: 

• Water circularity: Significant reduction in customer freshwater usage through advanced water reuse technologies
• Total cost of effluent operations: By continuous optimization of effluent process, we support reductions to total cost of operations
• Insights to Operators: Through advanced analytics and automation, we provide insights to operators to make informed decisions
• Compliance risks: Technology helps companies to comply with policy and effluent regulations and supports progress on sustainability goals

A model that works 

Powered by the ECOLAB3D™ intelligence platform, 3D TRASAR technology provides reliable control of flotation equipment and offers real-time monitoring and control of chemical treatment programmes. It gives companies data visibility into effluent treatment systems, with capabilities to eliminate downtime and mechanisms that detect and prevent chemical overfeed. The technology works by: 

• Dispensing optimised chemical treatment 
• Collecting key performance information for wastewater applications 
• Connecting with ECOLAB3D to display real-time performance measures 

Addressing sustainability and business outcomes 

As companies continue to balance business pressures with water and energy complexity, innovation is the key. Ecolab is focused on innovating advanced technology and chemistry programmes to help commercial laundry facilities reduce water and energy consumption while supporting water and product quality. 

3D TRASAR Technology for Effluent for TCD helps commercial launderers take a holistic approach to water treatment and water circularity, addressing quality, efficiency and profitability altogether as interconnected levers. TRSA’s recognition reinforces the value that Ecolab delivers to help make what’s good for water, good for business.
