Climate change is a complex challenge for all businesses. We need environmentally-friendly solutions that are effective, affordable and safe to use.
At The Cleaning Show London 2025, the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) is to chair a panel of experts who will discuss the role of regulations, including the Biocidal Product Regulation, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the EU Green Claims Directive in delivering the essential transparency and accountability. The discussion will take place on Tuesday 18 March at 12.15PM.
As sponsor of the CSSA Innovation Showcase, the CHSA will join the CSSA on Stand D55. Visitors will be able to find out about the CHSA’s six Accreditation Schemes and its rigorous Code of Practice. Together they guarantee ‘what’s on the box is what’s in the box’.
The panel will be chaired by the CHSA chair, Lorcan Mekitarian. It will comprise:
- Peter Thistlethwaite: Technical Manager – Cosmetics and Biocides at MSL Solution Providers. Peter is a Microbiologist with experience working in the cleaning and hygiene, cosmetics and water industries. His work involves testing and quality control.
