LaundryESP® calls for the textile service and supply industry to work with EPA and other agencies to ensure this program's success. Many of the industry's top leaders have already pledged a strong commitment on behalf of their companies.

The textile service and supply industry has been working actively with EPA on this issue. The industry has willingly met with EPA and its contractors to educate them about the industry; submitted significant quantities of data, industry information, and comments; arranged for and participated in plant site visits; reviewed industry survey questionnaires for EPA; and participated in public meetings and the small-business panel process.

UTSA's and TRSA's involvement with EPA over the past 25 years demonstrates the industry's commitment to the environment and resolving wastewater issues.
