215 voluntary organizers of the 9th World Championships in Athletics that took place in Paris from August 23rd to 31st, have received a Clean Way Card. This smart card is accepted in 1300 affiliated dry cleaners in France. This operation had already been realized in 1998 during the FIFA Soccer World Cup.
Launch in Germany Following a test period of a few weeks, Accor Services Germany launched Clean Way in Munich and Berlin at the beginning of October. The company DTV, which represents 1,500 German dry cleaners, has just signed an agreement to develop the use of the card across the country in 2004. Some key clients are also looking into using Clean Way for their employees' uniforms.
