History of AOSDAC

The 1st Asia Soap & Detergent Association Conference was held in Tokyo in 1997 for three associations in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan to exchange information on the cleaning products industry to help the associations improve performance and credibility. Since the first conference, our goal, contributing to enriching people's happiness and prosperity in the regions, has not changed. 　AOSDAC members have been holding the conference biannually and uninterrupted, with the most recent 13th conference hosted by CCIA (Online) in 2021.　 In AOSDAC, we discuss the topics relevant to every stakeholder; the development of products that improve the quality of life through hygiene and cleanliness; human and environmental safety; fulfilling sustainability principles; meeting or exceeding legal requirements. 　In that time, the number of associations joining the conference has increased, and in 2009 it became the Asia Oceania Soap & Detergent Association Conference following the participation of the association of the Oceania region. Currently, nine associations join the conference from Asia and Oceania regions.
