As part of the course on ecology and green technologies, students visited Lindström, one of Europe’s leading textile service providers with over 170 years of experience.

We were warmly welcomed – snacks had been prepared for the children to make the lecture more fun and interesting. After the introductory part, there was a tour of the factory. We were shown how textiles from hotels, for example, are used and cleaned, sorted, washed, dyed and sent back to customers.

It was particularly interesting to see the company’s state-of-the-art water treatment system, which allows the use of already purified water in the washing process. As a result, water consumption is minimised and the environmental impact is significantly reduced. Such a system is unique in Estonia.

Our students were the first to visit the company for a learning experience. We thank the organiser, Liina Lelmi, for the excellent opportunity to learn about a sustainable and environmentally friendly company.
