• Is thoroughly trained in all aspects of product quality requirements
• Must pass an assessment test
• Reviews 60-80 garments every 15 minutes
• Is aware of the negative impact that poor garment quality has on the customer
• Determines appropriate next steps for flagged garments; i.e., mending, cleaning or replacement
• Posts weekly defect reports at each station for Cintas partners to review
• Reviews defect rates and discusses ways to improve at weekly production meetings
• Audits are random, and are conducted once garments leave the steam tunnel

Green Initiatives
Cintas is committed to improving the lives of our customers, partners and communities by integrating environmentally
sustainable practices, principles and solutions across our business lines
Laundry Facilities
• L aundry Environmental Stewardship Program (LaundryESP®) — Cintas is a charter member of the Laundry
Environmental Stewardship Program (LaundryESP®), whose intent is to improve the environmental performance
in the industrial laundry industry.
• W aste Water Treatment — Unlike individual home-washing, Cintas laundry facilities treat waste water before
discharging it and recycle water which reduces water usage and the amount of pollutants discharged to publicly
owned treatment works and the environment.
• Environmentally Friendly Cleaner — Once the transition is complete, Cintas will be the first and only industrial
launderer in the industry to employ washing standards that are 100% NPE-free, phosphate-free and EDTA-free at
all of its 175 uniform laundry facilities throughout North America.
Energy Usage
• Electricity — In an average Cintas facility, approximately 25% of electricity usage comes from lighting. Cintas is
converting all facilities to energy efficient lighting.
• H eat-Air Recycling — Through new innovations like heat-air recycling, Cintas has cut the electricity in half which
was once required to complete the laundry process.
• H eat Reclaimers — Cintas laundry facilities have heat reclaimers which reclaim about 95% of waste heat from
boilers, allowing us to eliminate energy used to heat incoming water.
• M odern Moisture Measurement Methods — Cintas has been able to achieve as much as a 50% reduction in
garment drying time by using modern moisture measurement methods, saving significant amounts of fossil fuel
and related green house gas emissions.
• Energy Star — Cintas has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on its ENERGY STAR program.
The program provides a strategic approach to energy management by tracking an organization’s current energy
efficiency and future improvement. The focus on energy usage benefits both consumers and the environment by
