PortAventura Facility Services: Sustainable Laundry for Costa Daurada

PortAventura World unveils PortAventura Facility Services, a cutting-edge industrial laundry that redefines sustainability and community spirit. Serving the resort and hotels and businesses across the Costa Daurada, this facility drives eco-conscious innovation to transform the region’s tourism landscape.

Pioneering Sustainable Tourism

PortAventura Facility Services marks a bold step in PortAventura World’s 30-year commitment to environmental and social responsibility. This vibrant laundry caters to the resort’s hotels and extends its services to tourist accommodations and businesses along the Costa Daurada. By delivering smart solutions to shrink ecological footprints, it sets a new benchmark for responsible tourism, inspiring the industry with its forward-thinking approach.

Smart Technology for a Cleaner Future

Boasting a daily capacity of 15 tons, the laundry reimagines resource efficiency. Ditching steam for a sophisticated hot-water system, it leverages heat and water recovery to reuse residual warmth across washing cycles. Bedding made from recycled polyester washes and dries at lower temperatures, slashing gas consumption by 32% and water use by 16%. Using only non-potable water preserves local resources, while every wash cycle is meticulously analyzed to minimize environmental impact.

Community and Green Logistics in Harmony

PortAventura Facility Services weaves social inclusion into its core: 28% of its workforce comprises individuals at risk of social exclusion, recruited through the Institut Municipal de Formació i Empresa Mas Carandell. Laundry transport relies on trucks powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), reinforcing a holistic sustainability model. This seamless blend of eco-awareness and social impact strengthens the Costa Daurada community with every load.

Blending Heritage with Innovation

Since 1995, when PortAventura World pioneered rainwater collection systems, sustainability has shaped its path. Today, nearly 20% of the resort’s water comes from recycled sources, a testament to its innovative spirit and climate focus. PortAventura Facility Services carries this legacy forward, merging smart solutions with regional pride to redefine tourism standards.

A Beacon for Responsible Tourism

“PortAventura Facility Services shows how sustainability drives our decisions,” says Choni Fernández, Director of Sustainability, Customers, and Communication at PortAventura World. The laundry optimizes resources, reduces environmental strain, and uplifts the community, forging a tourism model aligned with sustainable development goals. With this initiative, PortAventura World energizes the industry’s shift toward a greener future.
