Safe and sustainable

The medical industry is a fast-paced sector with a high demand, producing simple and complex devices. The type of material used and the design of the product are focused on effectiveness during use and less on recyclability and sustainability. In the report "Circular economy of the materials in the healthcare industry: Opportunities and challenges", researchers from Australia have investigated how a circular economy could be implemented in medical technology. The article was published in "Resources, Conservation & Recycling".
