The project partnership was established to encourage the development and incorporation of environmentally-preferable cleaning methods which professional cleaners can offer to their customers, while maintaining or increasing economic viability. Initial efforts focused on the development and evaluation of new cleanmg methods, the development of technical and training materials, and the publication of information. In 1996, at the DfE Apparel Care Conference, it was recognized that decisions made in related industries affect the cleanability of garments, and ultimately the decisions made by dry cleaners. Representatives of industries such as garment and textile designers, manufacturers, fiber producers, drycleaners, and retailers along with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, gathered in Washington, D.C. on March 31-April 2, 1998, for "Garment and Textile Program: An Eye to the Future." Participants shared a common goal: To explore how decisions made by other industries affect the incorporation of environmentally-preferable methods into professional cleaning operations. The conference was the first step in the evolvement of the GTCP to incorporate a life cycle approach to identify upstream industrial issues that impact garment care. IV
