2018 DIRECTORY CANADIAN FABRICARE ASSOCIATIONS


There has never been a better time to join an association, or a time when it is more important. It is imperative that individual operators and suppliers band together to have a collective voice in the decisions that will shape the industry for decades to come. If you are not already a member, find the most appropriate association listed below and join it today. If you have already become a member, become an active participant. The strength of an association is the commitment of the individual members.

ARTA’s mission is to create greater appreciation and awareness for reusable textiles – those cloth products that are reused rather than thrown away like paper disposable items. Our members represent all facets of the textile maintenance industry: manufacturers of textiles, machinery and chemicals, as well as suppliers, sister associations, and the operators who clean and deliver clean napkins, linen, sheets, towels, blankets, scrubs, incontinence products, surgical gowns and uniforms to restaurants, hotels, hospitals, clinics and businesses.


ARTA serves its members in several ways. The association: • Promotes the value of and need for reusable textiles through education conferences, seminars, marketing and sales resources, research, and by creating a library of data on the benefits of reusable textiles.


• Provides a forum for the exchange of information among all interested parties, focusing on key eco- nomic and environmental issues that offer oppor- tunities for membership involvement.


• Promotes ARTA’s concerns to legislative and regu- latory decision-makers.


• ARTA is committed to position reusables as the first choice among clients.
