ETSA

The European Textile Services Association (ETSA) represents textile rental companies, suppliers and national textile services associations across Europe. It brings together businesses and partners in the textile services sector, including suppliers of detergents, fabrics and machinery, and works with research institutes and national associations. ETSA promotes the role of professionally managed textile services in supporting safe, healthy workplaces and responsible resource use.

Through its information and partner directory, ETSA helps businesses understand the benefits of renting textiles and find a provider in their country. These services can include the rental, care and delivery of work textiles, with professional laundering and controls designed to support hygiene and reliability. The association highlights relevant quality, hygiene and environmental standards, including ISO certifications, RAL hygiene certificates and Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

ETSA also champions circular practices such as textile reuse and recycling, longer-lasting products, and more efficient use of water and energy. By outsourcing textile management, businesses can secure dependable supplies and focus on their core operations, while providers manage the textiles and related service.
