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. Plastics in particular, have unique opportunities and challenges in what the Ellen MacArthur Foundation has dubbed the New Plastics Economy. However, it’s not quite as simple as it sounds.
