title: Reusables win a battle over disposables.
abstract: The time is right to market the environmental benefits of reusable textiles. Take it from Stan Wiener, director of sales for Unitex Textile Rental Services, Mount Vernon, N.Y. Wearing one of his company's reusable cloth examination gowns, Wiener made a sales call to a leading New York health services center. Persuaded by the environmental friendliness of reusables, the health center made the switch from paper gowns and has realized a 5,000-lb. reduction in disposable trash.
