A.I.S.E.'s Cleaning and Hygiene Forum

The theme for Forum 2020 was “The future of an essential industry in the context of the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability”. Participants came from the competent authorities from 15 Member States, the European Commission, ECHA, poison control centres, EU Permanent Representatives, as well as industry members and value chain partners. The online format also enabled the broader network of detergents manufacturers from beyond the borders of Europe to join the debate.
