Healthcare Plastics and the Circular Economy

Hospital plastics show great potential to be part of the Circular Economy movement, in which waste and pollution have been eliminated and products, components, and materials are kept at their highest and most effective use.

The challenges associated with recycling healthcare plastics are not just challenges at the hospital level; instead, barriers to recycling exist across the entire plastics value chain, from product design and manufacturing through product use and disposal.
