And John Heighington says he’s trying to help clean it up. Half-owner of focal Spotless Dry Cleaning and Time Cleaners, Heighington last year spent $55,000 ona more effi- cient dry-cleaning machine to cut down toxic emissions of per- chloroethylene, the main sol- vent used in the drycleaning process which has been linked to depletion of the ozone layer. ~ Heighington says the decision was the right one: he now uses less than 65 gallons of the sol- vent a year, compared to 360 gallons a year under the old system. - Although the machine means Savings: in solvent costs, Heighington said the store bought it. ‘with the welfare of our customers, employees and the environment in mind,” “It’s the environment around you and how healthy it is that counts,’’ he said, “We're just trying to be responsible and want to do a good job.” . The new machine uses a closed-loop process that re- baie no ventilatjon into the atz - sphere and. fey les’ the j ‘slifespan,” LATEST TECHNOLOGY in the drycleaning business comes in the form of this computerized dry- cleaning machine. Local cleaner John Heighington says the new machine is “cleaner” in that it emits fewer pollutants than older models by more efficiently recycling cleaning solvent. perchloroethylene more effi- ciently than the old reclaimer machines. Some of the solvent still evaporates, but he says the amount is far less than under the old system. He said it’s not always easy to make changes. ‘‘In industry you can only move so fast. You buy new equipment and 10 years later it’s obsolete. But the machines have a 30-year he said. ‘That's in Wn what happened to us — our machines still had 20 years left, but we felt this was important. And we like to put the money we. get back into the business,’ The older cleaners released emissions of as much .as 200 parts per million of per- chloroethylene into the at- mosphere, he said, while the new cleaner brings emissions Jittle as three, paits Seite ny ae p tional standard that is to be en- forced in some countries by 1995, It won't be mandatory in Canada, he noted, but he said he'd rather change because it’s the right thing to do,. not: because it’s forced upon him.
