THE FUTURE OF THE CLEANING INDUSTRY
This event celebrates the cleaning industry’s most innovative products, services and initiatives; particularly better solutions to social, political and environmental requirements, and existing market issues.
Businesses and organisations operating throughout the industry enter their innovative products, services and initiatives. Preceding to the Innovation Showcase, we hold an Innovator's Pitch with a panel of leading industry experts who review and interview all entrants and select those to be exhibited at the Innovation Showcase itself.
Whether you’re an owner of a commercial or industrial cleaning company the event is the perfect opportunity to see ways to optimize your process; increase productivity, improve quality, boost profitability and meet demands for a better environment. The event not only demonstrates that the Cleaning Industry is a driving force for the evolution in the cleaning field, but has the potential to reinvent a wide range of industries via serving social and environmental needs.
Innovative cleaning processes are fundamentally altering the way business owners manage their companies, and how employees conduct their day-to-day activities. From green cleaning and new equipment to social media marketing and automated management, staying ahead of the competition means being aware of cleaning trends at all times.
This year, the Metsä 2025 Sustainability Awards Ceremony will also recognise, and salute, the winners of the CSSA Innovation Showcase, who will be demonstrating how they are creating a positive impact on our industry at The London Cleaning Show.
