In Memoriam: Nathan Belkin, Founder of ARTA

LARGO, Fla. — Nathan L. Belkin, Ph.D., founder of the American Reusable Textile Association (ARTA), died here Monday at the age of 83, the association reports.

Born in St. Louis, Belkin worked in the textile services industry for 40 years, serving companies such as Angelica and Fashion Seal. He founded ARTA in 1982 in response to legislation that, if passed, would have given a substantial advantage to disposable products over reusable textiles, ARTA says.
