To create greater appreciation and acceptance for reusable textiles.

ARTA promotes the interests of its members and the general public by spreading the word about “reusable textiles.” We:

• Promote ARTA’s concerns to legislative and regulatory decision-makers.
• Promote the value of and need for reusable textiles with general and technical educational opportunities for both consumers and producers of reusable textiles through literature, seminars, and technical bulletins.
• Provide a forum for the exchange of information among all interested parties, focusing on key economic and environmental issues through relevant meetings that assure opportunities for membership involvement.

Develop a strong ARTA membership and provide a support network for members.

ARTA is committed to positioning reusables as the first choice among consumers and to maintaining a framework on which to plan for a prosperous future.
