As industrialisation continues to accelerate, the rapid growth of industrial waste and municipal solid waste has far exceeded the Earth’s natural self-purification capacity, placing unprecedented pressure on the global environment. In response to this shared challenge, World Cleanup Day, initiated by environmental advocate Ian Kiernan, was established and has since become one of the world’s most influential environmental action days. Held on the third weekend of September each year (falling on Wednesday, September 17, in 2025), it brings together over 40 million participants across more than 125 countries worldwide for a cleaner planet.
Against this backdrop, Interclean Shanghai, organised by RAI China, builds on the strengths of the Interclean brand. The exhibition brings together professionals from across the entire international cleaning industry value chain to exchange insights, stay with industry trends, and present innovative products, technologies, and solutions. At the same time, it serves as a high-level dialogue platform connecting industry leaders, experts and policymakers to discuss sector needs and explore future development pathways. Moreover, Interclean Shanghai acts as a premier showcase and incubation platform for international enterprises and emerging technologies seeking to enter the Chinese market.
Interclean Shanghai 2025 will kick off from October 22-24 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (Hall E7). As a flagship annual event eagerly anticipated by the industry, the exhibition offers far more than a comprehensive presentation of professional and commercial cleaning solutions. It also represents a strategic gateway into China for the Dutch RAI Exhibitions Group, carefully developed and operated by RAI China. Committed to introducing world-class exhibition resources and mature operational expertise into the Chinese market, RAI China fosters international industry exchange and industrial upgrading. The exhibition will bring together exceptional global brands, cutting-edge technologies, and innovative solutions to collectively chart the future course of the cleaning industry.
As a key member of the global Interclean series, Interclean Shanghai has grown into one of the most influential professional cleaning exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region since its launch in China. In 2025, the event will return with a larger scale, higher standards and a more diversified format, bringing fresh momentum to the industry.
Centering on the theme "Digital & Smart Cleaning · Connecting the Future," the exhibition will present a comprehensive portfolio spanning the entire industry chain, including commercial cleaning equipment, intelligent cleaning robots, industrial dust removal systems, infection control and disinfection products, environmental sanitation solutions, cleaning consumables and supporting facilities. Professionals from sectors such as industrial manufacturing, commercial real estate, healthcare, hospitality, transportation and education will find efficient, tailored solutions to meet their specific operational needs.
To further strengthen global resource integration, Interclean Shanghai 2025 will expand its international exhibition zone. Leveraging closer collaboration with Interclean Amsterdam, the event will enhance its global reach and create a multilingual business environment on site, reducing barriers to cross-border cooperation and generating higher-quality international trade opportunities for exhibitors.
In addition, the organiser will introduce a one-to-one engagement ecosystem to enable precise supply-and-demand matchmaking. With dedicated on-site language support, international buyers and exhibitors will benefit from smoother communication, improved efficiency and a more effective cross-border exchange experience.
Beyond product showcasing, Interclean Shanghai also serves as a leading knowledge and exchange platform. The event will feature a focused programme of forums and activities, including the Interclean China Elite Awards, the 2025 China Cleaning Industry Supplier Development Summit, the Cleaning Industry Exchange Forum, the China Wellness Cleaning and Infection Control Forum, and the Digital & Intelligent Solutions Forum for the Property Cleaning Sector, fostering in-depth discussion on policy trends, market developments and technological innovation.
Against the combined momentum of dual-carbon targets, rising public health demands, and industrial upgrading, the cleaning industry stands at a pivotal moment of transformation. Interclean Shanghai 2025 will offer cleaning professionals a high-value platform for capability enhancement, partnership expansion and trend leadership.
In response, Interclean Shanghai, in collaboration with the global Interclean Netherlands team, will present the International Hub as a flagship feature of the show. Nearly 20 internationally recognised cleaning experts will gather in Shanghai to deliver focused knowledge sharing and interactive sessions covering industry standards, practical implementation, emerging trends and hands-on training—creating a truly open, professional and diverse international exchange platform.
At the International Hub, visitors will engage directly with industry representatives from Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and beyond, exploring global market trends, cross-border cooperation opportunities and real-world technology applications. Whether you are a Chinese company expanding overseas or an international buyer seeking trusted partners, the International Hub is a must-visit strategic networking destination.
