ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

EFCI - the organisation representing the sector at EU level - is re-launching CIRCLE, a dedicated space created to bring together the European cleaning ecosystem and strengthen connections between cleaning businesses across the sector.

Designed for the companies involved in professional cleaning across the countries of Europe, CIRCLE offers a platform for organisations to exchange ideas, learn from one another and build partnerships at European level. It brings together industrial cleaning companies, training bodies, technical and professional study centres, as well as organisations active in health & safety and risk prevention.

Participants in CIRCLE can expect a mix of insight, connection, and practical opportunities to engage:

• Intelligence: participants will gain access to insights on EU policy and market developments, along with early signals on the trends shaping the future of the sector.

• Network: CIRCLE will offer two online knowledge-exchange sessions each year, alongside one in-person opportunity to meet and connect with peers from across Europe.

• Visibility: members will have a presence in the CIRCLE ecosystem through the directory and badge, with additional opportunities to be featured.

• Access: the initiative will also create direct opportunities for engagement with EFCI leadership and other key stakeholders.

Those interested in joining the first wave and helping build critical mass in 2026 are warmly invited to get in touch at secretariat@efci.eu
