Medical Linen Service Provider Angelica Encourages Greening Your Hospital

    NORCROSS, GA, October 02, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With corporations trying to save money and reduce wasteful spending, medical linen service Angelica, reminds hospitals that a green approach is the best approach. Hospitals are not only finding that a greener approach to sanitation is a cost-effective way to cut back on spending, but it is also creates a healthy environment for patients and staff.

Cleaning supplies are a solid start for hospitals to become greener. While cleaning supplies required at hospitals must meet a specific purpose, organic-based cleaning supplies are healthier for the patients and the environment. Harsh, sometimes toxic chemicals can, in the long run, be more wasteful than natural alternatives, not to mention environmental pollution and unhealthy working conditions.

A medical linen service can help monitor the toxins distributed throughout the hospital, as well as help hospitals cut back on spending. Most medical linens have been washed on site, which can cost the institution more money through water management and chemical waste.

"Hospitals can save money by utilizing a hospital linen service," stated Aly Merritt, Marketing Manager for Angelica Corporation, a medical linen service. "We work to reduce water usage and increase efficiency in all our plants, and outsourcing to us can help hospitals save money and be more eco-friendly."

Angelica also encourages hospitals to recycle whenever possible. Items like administrative waste can be recycled, reducing the organization's overall waste. While not all items from hospitals should or can be recycled, the medical linen service encourages hospitals to recycle paper and aluminum products.

These small steps can help hospitals become greener and inevitably healthier organizations, too. A few small changes within an organization can be a cost-effective way to keep the bottom line in the black.
