Healthcare Linen Provider, Angelica, Educates the Public on Eliminating Disposables

NORCROSS, GA, May 08, 2013 (Press-News.org) In our modern world, nothing is more important than keeping the environment healthy for future generations--nothing except for keeping ourselves at our healthiest. These two concepts have been sharply at odds in the medical linen industry for more than 50 years. Doctors have believed that they are unable to perform sanitary surgeries with reusable textiles. At the same time, disposable textiles have drastically increased the waste that hospitals produce, causing hospitals to create more waste per patient than ever before.

Angelica Corporation, a hospital laundry service, knows that the solution to this problem is to return to using reusable textiles in operating rooms and hospitals across the nation. Sanitation procedures and overall textile quality have increased dramatically since hospitals originally adopted disposable textiles back in the 1960s, and the concerns that doctors once had are no longer valid.

"We need to be good stewards of both our health and our environment," states Aly Merritt, Marketing Manager at Angelica Corporation. "Modern healthcare linen services like Angelica make it possible for hospitals to use reusable textiles in their operating rooms without having any increase in complications for patients."

Reducing or eliminating disposable textiles from the operating room drastically reduces a hospital's waste output and its need for waste removal services. Having your reusable textiles sterilized, disinfected, and sanitized by a medical laundry service like Angelica Corporation ensures that your reusable textiles are pristine for each patient.
