NEW ORLEANS — The China Laundry Association has joined CINET, the International Committee on Textile Care, and the two organizations are coordinating a new initiative, Switch Asia. A press conference lead by Dirk Vanmeirhaeghe, CINET president, Peter Wennekes, CINET CEO, and Wang Shuyuan, director of CLA, was held during Clean Show 2013.
Ms. Wang and Vanmeirhaeghe also signed a memorandum of understanding to begin the program that supports the implementation of sustainable and innovative laundering and drycleaning practices in China.
