Association Memberships

PLUS strives to stay abreast with industry changes, technological advances, and environmental issues. In this effort, we are members of the following associations:

CSC is made up of over 160 independently owned and operated companies that have teamed up, throughout the United States and Canada, to provide higher quality uniform, mats, shop towels, and linen rental services. It allows independent laundries the same buying power as many of our national competitors.

LaundryESPsm is a cost-effective and flexible program designed to raise the environmental performance of textile service and supply companies and improve relations with customers. The program allows large and small companies alike to choose from a variety of initiatives that each participant can tailor to its operations. The primary goal of LaundryESP is to facilitate the textile service and supply industry's continued commitment to environmental protection through the use of new and innovative approaches. LaundryESP is designed to build on the industry's existing strengths of recycling and reusability and its more efficient use of resources (water, energy and wash chemicals) when compared to home laundering.

The Textile Rental Services Association of America (TRSA) is an international, not-for-profit trade association founded in 1913. TRSA is the world's largest textile rental industry association, representing over 1,300 locations in 28 countries - companies responsible for more than 75% of the uniform rental market and 90% of the linen supply market around the world.

ITSA (Independent Textile Services Association) membership is geared towards the independent textile rental operator. Member companies are engaged in the linen, towel, industrial uniform, and dust control markets. ITSA's supplier members provide all the products and services required for our members to operate successfully.

DCA is a unique support group of independent dust control operators who freely exchange ideas and operating methods. This exchange of information and techniques enables us to compete successfully in the marketplace. Our members include dust control operators; mats, mops and wiper services; and suppliers of related products.
