Environmental Agency Partners with Dry Cleaning Groups to Present Alternatives Summit

DENVER — The Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP) at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is partnering with several dry cleaning-related organizations to present a Dry Cleaning Alternatives Summit and Trade Fair here later this winter.

The Rocky Mountain Fabricare Association, GreenEarth Cleaning, CDPHE’s Hazardous Materials Waste Management Division and the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute are partnering with the agency to present the March 9 event showcasing dry cleaning alternatives “due to increasing concerns over dry cleaning solvent releases to the environment, and related impacts on air, water and soil,” the CDPHE says.

The one-day event at the Denver Marriott Tech Center will feature presentations and panel discussions on dry cleaning alternatives from industry, allied trades and CPDHE speakers. Also, there will be an exhibitor trade fair offering a multitude of resources in dry cleaning, laundry and wet cleaning equipment supplies.

Exhibitors will include GreenEarth Cleaning, Katzson Brothers, R.R. Street & Co., Seitz Chemical, A.L.Wilson Chemical Co., Adco/Laidlaw, Caled Industries, Multimatic, Columbia/Ilsa, Union, Wascomat, SPOT Business Systems, Rocky Mountain Hanger Co., The Green Garmento, The Route Pro, and more.

The event is free, and lunch and refreshments will be served. Those interested in attending can register online here.
