EVAPLUS: Study on the recovery of used plastics in healthcare - La librairie ADEME

Discover the results of the EVAPLUS study on the recovery of used plastics in healthcare! Study supported by ADEME, conducted by Alcimed and piloted by Polymeris and ADI Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
An essential component of a wide variety of medical products (syringes, catheters, infusion bags, gloves, gowns, sterile instrument packaging, etc.), plastic is now one of the main materials used in healthcare products. However, as these products are largely single-use, they generate a significant quantity of plastic waste which, at present, is not fully recycled/recovered and often ends up in landfill or incineration.
This raises the question of the recovery of healthcare plastics in France: are there any relevant recovery routes for healthcare plastics in France, or what are the key success factors for forming new ones?
