This year ARTA’s education program ranges from best practices to new technology to research studies to help you more effectively market reusable textiles. For example:

- Can C.diff be killed in a tunnel washer? Is there proof that the laundry process kills C.diff ? Learn the results of this ARTA study using Peracetic acid in a laundry process that simulates the action of a tunnel washer.
- Bac-stat versus no bac-stat? This once popular treatment fell out of favor due to cost. But is it time to reconsider?
- Panel discussion on available life cycle analyses and how to use them. ARTA completed two LCAs within the past year on isolation and surgical gowns. Learn from operators and suppliers how to use this data.
