The EVS single-use debate is shifting: what the data means for cost and sustainability
Monday, July 13th, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT
Budgets are tight, clinical standards are higher than ever and sustainability scrutiny is intensifying. Yet many hospitals still run fragmented environmental services programs: multiple disinfectant chemistries, inconsistent ordering and heavy reliance on reusable textiles that drive laundry, logistics and rework.
Left unaddressed, that complexity compounds. Every added product and one-off process pulls staff time, inflates spend and makes it harder to answer questions about quality and environmental impact. Leaders are now re-evaluating long-held assumptions about what belongs in an EVS portfolio.
Join an infection prevention specialist for a grounded discussion on optimizing EVS. The program will outline how hospitals are standardizing disinfectants across facilities, consolidating to fewer products and evaluating a shift from reusable to single-use wipes, mops and textiles, with takeaways from laundering comparison studies and a sustainability lens that holds up to scrutiny.

You will learn:
- A step-by-step approach to standardize disinfectants without disrupting care
- A transparent cost comparison for reusable versus single-use, including laundry and labor
- How to build an evidence-based sustainability narrative for EVS products
- Governance and compliance guardrails that sustain savings and quality gains
