Study on the recycling and recovery of plastic waste from Health

Polymeris, in partnership with ADI-NA, will launch a study on the recycling and recovery of plastic waste from the healthcare sector as part of the ORMAT call for projects, for which the next submission date is June 1.
 
This study is based on two observations. The first one, carried by many actors in the field of health in France, indicates that this sector is a very large consumer of plastic material (secondary/primary packaging, consumables, medical devices).
However, at the present time, at the end of its life, this material is not fully recycled/valued, despite the fact that it has a grade with a high purity and a recognized traceability.
On the other hand, plastics producers will have to increase their incorporation rates of recycled materials in the coming years for regulatory reasons or in response to market demand, including in the healthcare sector.

Call for projects: ORMAT (Objectif Recyclage MATières)

This call for projects financially supports the production of recycled raw materials (RRM) and their incorporation into their products by processors and marketers.
 
Since 2016, ADEME's ORPLAST scheme has supported the reincorporation of plastic PRM into manufactured products. As a follow-up, the ORMAT scheme was created and aims to financially support:
 
  • The preparation and production of recycling raw materials (RPM) from waste, by specialized recycling professionals: we will speak for this phase of regeneration or recycling, depending on the materials considered.
  • The integration of PRM by companies that transform raw materials into products, taking into account the real technical constraints to adapt the production systems to the integration of these PRM.
