With strong functionailty our new website clearly communicates the CHSA’s three primary activities:

- To drive up standards through our effective and influential Manufacturing Standards Accreditation Schemes for Soft Tissue, Plastic Refuse Sacks and Industrial Cotton Mops;

- To provide a powerful, collective voice for our members;
