PurpleTie
PurpleTie has reduced up to 200 metric tons of carbon emissions in the current year.
Carbon dioxide emissions, the principal cause of global warming, are an inevitable consequence of energy use. Every time an individual or organization uses electricity for lighting, fuel for transport, etc., additional carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere.
PurpleTie has partnered with TerraPass to sponsor clean energy and carbon reduction projects that result in a verified, measurable reduction in carbon emissions.

About PurpleTie
We've taken green to a whole new level! We not only guarantee you a 100% perc-free cleaning process, but, we also bring you the first carbon neutral fleet and production process in the industry. As proudly displayed on all our vans, we've reduced our delivery fleet's carbon footprint to zero via TerraPass, and done the same for our utility usage via PG&E Climate Smart. Being green is an all encompassing effort that we're on the forefront of, making sure that we offer you the best cleaning experience, with the least environmental impact...all at GREAT PRICES! 100% PERC-FREE Our commitment to being green starts with our 100% perchloroethylene-free dry cleaning process. We take our commitment to being your greener cleaner very seriously, while making sure that we can offer you the best cleaning for all your garments. Our cleaning process is not only better for your health, but it also cares for the air that we breath and the ground water below our feet. Just as importantly, we can do all this without sacrificing our ability to truly clean your clothes...something that many "green" cleaners can't boast. We've all heard and read about Perc horror stories as well as complaints of "green" alternatives that don't actually get clothes clean. At PurpleTie, we have the solution to both these problems...environmentally sustainable practices, with no compromise in cleaning quality! FEWER PLASTIC BAGS = GOOD FOR MOTHER NATURE PurpleTie will provide you a permanent, reusable PurpleTie bag with your first order. If you still need a permanent PurpleTie bag, simply write "provide me with a permanent bag" in your next order. Added Benefit: Your permanent bag will come with a small barcode on one corner. This barcode is assigned to you and will identify the bag as yours. RECYCLING Hangers: PurpleTie recycles and reuses metal hangers. In fact, with a 100% reuse/recycle hanger program, we are the king of the landfill hill! You can help by simply including your extra metal hangers along with your next batch of clothes, and we'll take it from there. Garment covers: Did you know that the garment bags we use in packaging your clean clothes are recyclable? Please recycle as you do all other plastics at home, or include used bags with your next batch of clothes and we'll recycle them for you.
