Ziekenhuisverpakkingen recyclen economisch haalbaar maken

The quantity of materials generated at individual hospitals often does not represent sufficient commodity value necessary to attract recyclers. By including multiple hospitals in the area the Chicago regional project overcame this barrier. The project focused on non–infectious plastic packaging and products collected from clinical areas of the hospitals such as operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centres.
The Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council and the Plastics Industry Association published a report on the project that identifies best practices so that recyclers and healthcare facilities can replicate this business model in other markets (Environmental Leader, 20 december 2016).
