Why Healthcare Recycling?
Healthcare Recycling is possible - but not implemented
Our study revealed that many common plastics within the healthcare sector can be recycled

Healthcare facilities currently lack ward-level separation-at-source for
recyclable materials
In standard healthcare settings, recyclable medical packaging faces a binary fate: it is either classified as hazardous waste or thrown into general refuse. Without structured, ward-level separation at the source, recyclable pharmaceutical plastics end up trapped in general landfill streams.

Why should Malaysia look into medical recycling?
We put our study to the test with a pilot in a public hospital
Our audit of a public Malaysian hospital's Operating Theatre's general waste bins reveal that almost 70% of the waste sent to landfill can be recycled
The possibility of medical waste collected is endless
We have identified over 1000 institutions (hospitals, clinics, labs) within the Greater KL, Penang and JB areas itself for medical waste recovery
