Partner Organizations

Share

Since 1926, ACI has cooperated with schools, health agencies, industry and other organizations to get the job done. Over the years, our work has been possible because of our ability to build and sustain partnerships. Today, relationship building continues to be the backbone of ACI.

We have relationships with many organizations in other countries, including ABIPLA, ACCORD Australasia, AISE, JSDA, CCSPA, CANIPEC, CCIA, TSDA, CASIC, ALIADA and IHPCIA through INCPA, CEFIC and its Sector Groups (e.g., CESIO and APAG). ACI also is active in the U.S. arm of the International Chamber of Commerce and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD, and chairs the International Product Policy Working Group of the U.S. Council for International Business. 

ACI collaborations include working with organizations and influencers to raise awareness about laundry safety issues through our Packets Up campaign.

Here are some more of our partner organizations:

CDC

Healthy Schools, Healthy People is a joint initiative between ACI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dedicated to supporting school systems nationwide with tools to help reinforce hand hygiene and cleaning practices to prevent the spread of infectious disease and reduce related absenteeism.

Clean the World

Clean the World is a social enterprise with the mission of saving millions of lives around the world. They distribute recycled soap and hygiene products from hotels to families in need.

The United States Congress established National Poison Prevention Week in 1961 (P.L. 87-319). Shortly thereafter, the Poison Prevention Week Council was organized to coordinate this annual event and promote poison prevention. Now more than 50 years later, the Council continues to use National Poison Prevention Week to highlight the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. ACI works with the Council to prevent poisonings every day and help ensure the safety of children and adults in homes and communities.
