[Is Innovation the Key to Successful Healthcare Plastics Recycling?](http://www.hprc.org/single-post/2016/10/25/Is-Innovation-the-Key-to-Successful-Hospital-Recycling)

In late September, [HPRC ](http://www.hprc.org/)convened its fall meeting in California, kindly hosted by Kaiser Permanente and Goodwill Industries. Besides the usual council meetings, we were pleased to facilitate a hospital roundtable to help foster connections and recycling insights within the region. The informal theme of the session became innovation, as we know the issues of hospital plastics recycling are complex and require creativity to address, and we were excited to hear about all the creative solutions hospitals are trying.
