On July 17, the "2018 (3rd) China Public Textile Washing Summit Forum" was successfully held at the Sheraton Hongkou Sanji Hotel in Shanghai. The forum was hosted by the China Commercial Federation Laundry Professional Committee (referred to as "China Laundry Committee"), co-organized by the Shanghai Laundry Industry Association, and supported by Guangdong Xinzhilian Exhibition Company, Beijing Riguang Fine (Group) Company, Shanghai Weishi Machinery Co., Ltd., match Ecolab (China) Investment Company, Shanghai Hangxing Machinery (Group) Company, and Shenzhen Yuanwanggu Information Technology Co., Ltd. 
This forum gathered authoritative and professional figures from the domestic and foreign laundry industry, and also invited professionals from related fields such as environmental protection and medical care to share at the forum. More than 200 industry professionals attended, including the director and deputy director of the China Laundry Committee, the director and deputy director of the Public Textile and Medical Textile Washing Professional Office of the China Laundry Committee, and outstanding public textile washing enterprises and related enterprise leaders from across the country, jointly celebrating the grand event. 
China's public textile washing sector is undergoing a transformative era. How to respond to capital influx, environmental protection pressures, and policy impacts? With difficulties, challenges, and opportunities coexisting, practitioners are compelled to engage in deep reflection and active exploration. This forum focused on the core issues in the public textile washing field, expanding new ideas, new perspectives, and new strategies for industry elites. 
Since 2012, the China Laundry Committee, entrusted by the Ministry of Commerce, has compiled and organized annual industry report statistics and authored the "China Laundry Industry Development Report." This report serves as the "white paper" and "barometer" of the development of China's laundry industry and is an important platform to showcase the achievements and excellent enterprises of the industry. At the beginning of the forum, Mr. Pan Wei, director of the China Laundry Committee of the China Commercial Federation, released the 2017 "China Laundry Industry Development Report" on behalf of the committee. 
Keynote Speech: Facing Hot Topics with a High-Level Perspective
The keynote speech was hosted by Director Pan Wei of the China Laundry Committee. During the speech, authoritative experts and leaders in environmental protection and standards provided detailed explanations on industry environmental trends, requirements, and solution suggestions; well-known figures and scholars from the domestic and foreign laundry industry conducted in-depth analyses on capital operations, management, and technological development; senior industry managers shared solutions on laundry plant construction, energy saving, and consumption reduction, and professionally interpreted practical cases and innovative achievements in rental laundry. 
Li Xiaoliang: The construction of ecological civilization is currently at a critical stage of overlapping pressures and heavy burdens, entering a key period to provide more high-quality ecological products to meet the people's growing demand for a beautiful ecological environment, and also a window period with the conditions and capabilities to solve prominent ecological problems. Enterprises that damage the ecological environment, consume large amounts of resources, and seriously affect the health of the people must be resolutely closed and eliminated.
Liang Jiansheng: Medical fabrics belong to a category of public textiles. They differ from fabrics used in hotels, restaurants, and households, all of which are considered to carry biological contamination risks. It is necessary to establish awareness of isolation, strengthen management according to regulations, and adopt special washing and disinfection methods. 
Zheng Shichao: In recent years, the domestic laundry industry has developed rapidly, thanks to the improvement of industry standards, rising labor costs, and customers' increasing quality demands. Looking at the entire industry, enterprises with laundry dragons are no longer few, and modern equipment is becoming more common. However, modern equipment is only the beginning of enterprise modernization; more importantly, it relies on refined management.
Gu Jing: The 30 years of reform and opening up have brought prosperity to the motherland and wealth to the people! With social development, the term "migrant workers" has gradually faded from people's minds, which poses a huge challenge to our labor-intensive laundry industry. Improving enterprise competitiveness, exploring profit margins, and building automated, intelligent, and information-based laundry factories have become the main goals of small and medium-sized laundry enterprises.
Rong Ying: The core value provided by the laundry industry is safety and hygiene. We aim to assist the laundry industry in providing this core value—safety and hygiene—and help laundry plants pursuing quality and development achieve "inner virtue and outer excellence."
Sun Xiaofeng: Currently, China's laundry industry is rapidly developing towards modernization and intensification, with enterprise scale and revenue steadily increasing. However, with the increasingly severe environmental protection situation, issues such as water pollutant and perchloroethylene gas emissions, and disposal of perchloroethylene residues are becoming key factors restricting the healthy development of the laundry industry. 
Bert Debevere: The era of Industry 4.0 is approaching, and we believe the laundry industry is no exception. We believe these innovations focusing on robotics, artificial intelligence, material handling, and competitive data management will be the solutions adopted by the future laundry industry. Although many markets are not yet ready, we are paving the way for the automation of laundry tomorrow.
Hu Bin: Hotels, hospitals, and laundry companies deal daily with large amounts of linens and work clothes for counting, handover, washing, and transportation. How to improve efficiency at each stage? How to reduce the personnel required at each stage? How to manage linens throughout the entire process and lifecycle? How to ensure the fastest turnover of linens? These are the concerns of every linen user. 
Fu Huanhuan: On July 1, 2018, the "GB/T 35744—2017 Quality Requirements for Public Textile Cleaning" was officially implemented. The next step in quality control in the public textile washing industry is to strictly control more detailed quantitative indicators. 
Leon Wennekes: Comparing the public textile washing industries of China and European countries, analyzing development status and business models, differences certainly exist, but both China's and Europe's laundry industries share common goals and need to prepare for the future. 
Cheng Xi: During a 10-day cross-national study trip to the Netherlands, visiting more than a dozen laundry enterprises, it was found that most of these enterprises belong to laundry "families"—the younger generation has taken over the baton from their predecessors, with generations dedicating their lives to laundry alone. This deeply ingrained family business spirit and the long-accumulated management connotations have allowed the "craftsmanship spirit" to take root and flourish in these enterprises.
High-Level Dialogue: Sparking Intellectual Sparks in China
Inviting practical experts in public textile washing to discuss the most pressing questions practitioners want to understand, sharing rich experience accumulated over years of practice, directly facing the difficulties, opportunities, and trends in the public textile washing field, bringing deep reflection and intellectual sparks to participants.
Host Zheng Xiaojuan and guest speakers Ge Rongquan, Pu Jinyong, Yan Jinxiang, and Geng Jianbin had a lively discussion on topics including the main changes and progress in the public textile washing field in 2018, the key differences between China's public textile washing sector and that of developed countries, whether Europe's present is our future, what unique characteristics we might have, the outlook for the public textile washing market in the next three years, and the specific preparations needed to adapt to development over the next three years. 
At the end of the forum, Mr. Jiang Ming, President of the China General Chamber of Commerce, said in his speech: The association is a broad platform that can bring together more outstanding enterprises and individuals. It is committed to gathering industry professionals from excellent companies on this platform to increase their opportunities for voice and communication, thereby improving the overall service level of the industry and promoting the healthy and orderly development of the sector.
This forum featured rich content and profound insights. It was also a grand event for colleagues in the washing and dyeing industry to collaborate both inside and outside the sector to innovate, explore new ideas, build new frameworks, and actively promote the green, healthy, and sustainable development of the washing and dyeing industry. Let us carry this lingering enthusiasm and look forward to our next gathering!
